Raffineria Metalli Cusiana S.p.a. (Cusiana), a major Italian secondary aluminium refiner supplying multinational automotive, construction and furniture companies across Europe, has established a strategic partnership with TOMRA Recycling to redefine aluminium recycling with advanced multi-sensor sorting technology. Together, they have pioneered a multi-stage sorting line, enabling Cusiana to move beyond traditional ingot production and create branded, near carbon-free aluminium ingots and specific high-purity alloys, maximising profit while also delivering significant environmental benefits.

Since July, the domestic supply of aluminium scrap has remained tight. Coupled with multiple policy adjustments in the recycled metal industry, this has led to a decline in industry activity. Some secondary aluminium processing enterprises are facing difficulties in procuring aluminium scrap raw materials and poor industry profitability.

On June 26, the SMM LME Asia Week- Global Metals and New Energy Market Outlook and Supply Trends wrapped up in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China!

Southeast Asia is an important hub for the transshipment and processing of secondary aluminum raw materials globally.

This week, primary aluminium prices kept climbing for three consecutive days, with spot aluminium prices breaking through the 21,000 yuan/mt mark again.

In the week, the macro fundamental was intertwined with bullish and bearish factors, causing significant fluctuations in aluminum prices.
