Globally, with the push for decarbonisation, circular economy and sourcing low-carbon raw materials, the demand for recycled aluminium is expected to grow significantly. However, with the rising growth, there is one challenge that the aluminium recyclers continue to face and at times underestimate: Managing price risk while protecting profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current market scenario, the aluminium recycling industry\u2019s success does not depend only on sourcing quality material or operating an efficient recycling facility, because commercial decisions have now become equally important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why so? Factors like a sudden change in the aluminium prices, fluctuating currency exchange and ups and downs in the scrap premiums are directly impacting the inventory value, operating margins and contract pricing. This is precisely why hedging has evolved from being a financial concept into a practical business tool for recyclers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognising the growing need to understand hedging, AL Circle with Jorge Eduardo Dyszel, an LME-certified Risk Management Consultant, brings a course, \u201cHedging for recyclers – Become an expert in 6 hours<\/mark><\/a>\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is designed for recyclers, scrap traders, procurement professionals, commercial managers and finance teams, where they can get hands-on knowledge to understand price risk, develop effective hedging strategies, manage currency exposure and make more informed commercial decisions in an increasingly volatile market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hedging is about informed decisions, not speculation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding hedging is that it is only suitable for traders or financial institutions. In reality, effective hedging is designed to reduce uncertainty rather than increase it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For aluminium recyclers, hedging enables businesses to stabilise margins, protect inventory values, reduce exposure to market fluctuations and make purchasing or selling decisions with greater confidence. Instead of reacting to every movement in the market, companies can establish structured risk management strategies that support long-term growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As recycling businesses expand and customer contracts become increasingly complex, understanding how commodity markets operate is becoming an essential commercial skill rather than a specialised financial discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know your speaker: Jorge Eduardo Dyszel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than four decades of experience in commodity risk management, Jorge Eduardo Dyszel is one of the world\u2019s most renowned risk management consultants and LME trainers. He has been advising global producers, traders and industrial companies across more than 15 countries on navigating volatile metals markets. Moreover, he brings practical insights shaped by real commercial challenges and not just textbook examples. Having led the Metals Trading & Hedging Desk at Aluar Aluminio Argentino for over a decade and served as an official trainer and consultant for LME, Jorge has trained both junior and senior professionals from some of the world\u2019s leading trading organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes him the right person to take the training from is his approach. He always emphasises practical application rather than just viewing hedging as a complex financial exercise by demonstrating how it can be integrated into everyday commercial decisions. This starts from managing price exposure and protecting margins to developing structured risk management policies. He makes use of real market scenarios, enabling the participants to understand not just the nooks and crannies of the hedging but also how to effectively implement those within the aluminium recycling businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical knowledge that delivers long-term value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As aluminium markets become increasingly interconnected and volatile, developing commercial expertise is becoming just as important as operational excellence. Businesses that understand how to manage price exposure are better positioned to protect margins, negotiate contracts confidently and respond strategically to changing market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your organisation is taking its first steps towards hedging or looking to strengthen an existing risk management framework, AL Circle’s upcoming course, “Hedging for recyclers – Become an expert in 6 hours<\/mark><\/a>“, will help both, with practical, industry-focused knowledge that extends far beyond theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
