Produção global de alumínio excluindo a China cai 6,7% em relação ao ano anterior, sobe 1,6% em relação ao mês anterior em julho de 2026

International Aluminium Institute (IAI) data show that around 420 billion aluminum beverage cans enter the global market each year. While about 71% are recycled, the current can-to-can recycling rate is only around 33%. At this rate, repeated recycling through 2050 could generate about 207 billion recycled cans, while raising the closed-loop rate to 62% through better UBC sorting, remelting and logistics could increase this to around 685 billion cans. IAI estimates that only 47% of recycled cans currently return to new cans, compared with a potential 87% using existing technology, highlighting significant room to strengthen closed-loop recycling.

Germany's building sector generated around 130,000 mt of aluminum scrap in 2023, according to a report by AUF and European Aluminum, with AUF's recycling network collecting approximately 75,000 mt. Aluminum scrap recycling rates in Germany are close to 100%, while around 70% of scrap from building products is processed and remelted domestically, mainly into secondary extrusion billets and rolling ingots. Approximately 83,700 mt was recycled back into new building products, supporting a closed-loop aluminum system in the construction sector.

A Crown Holdings informou que o teor médio de alumínio reciclado em suas embalagens de bebidas atingiu 67% em 2025, com a aquisição total de alumínio em aproximadamente 1,23 milhão de toneladas. A empresa pretende aumentar o teor reciclado nas latas de alumínio para bebidas para 80% até 2030, comprometendo-se a adquirir pelo menos 10% de sua aquisição anual de alumínio primário de produtores de baixo carbono até 2030. A eletricidade renovável representou 44% da matriz elétrica global da Crown em 2025, enquanto as emissões combinadas de Escopo 1 e 2 diminuíram cerca de 30% em relação à linha de base de 2019.
