RUSAL, a global leader in aluminium production, has advanced to the second phase in the production of a batch of rolling slabs with a record-low carbon footprint. The figure came to less than 3t CO2/t of aluminium (Full Scope), which is the company’s lowest ever recorded within its ongoing production operations. These ingots will be delivered to partners for further rolling into strips and manufacturing Russia’s first low-carbon aluminium beverage cans. Building on the successful launch of the initiative in June 2025, this milestone confirms the full industrial-scale operation of the Company’s sustainable manufacturing solutions. This latest phase has yielded a new batch of can body sheet slabs with a record-low carbon footprint. RUSAL will supply these slabs to partners for rolling into sheet metal and subsequent conversion into beverage cans, marking a significant step in decarbonising the packaging supply chain.

Aluminum Fluoride Market Stagnant in June, Prices to Consolidate in July Amid Mixed Factors

At end-June, trading in the aluminum fluoride market was sluggish, with the industry waiting for new long-term contract tender prices to be settled. In the short term, high raw material prices provide solid cost support for aluminum fluoride, but bearish constraints from weak downstream fluorine chemicals and the decline in long-term hydrofluoric acid contracts are also in play. Amid the tug-of-war, aluminum fluoride prices in July have little room for significant rise or fall, and the market will continue to consolidate at highs within a range.
