Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

ACP urges for investigation of possible illegal practice in aluminium packaging recycling scheme

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The Advisory Committee on Packaging (ACP) in the UK has urged the competition regulators to investigate the possibility of illegal restrictive practices in the responsibility scheme for aluminium packaging recycling.

The Committee expresses concern over the current price for packaging recovery notes (PRN/PERN) which has risen to around £100 per tonne. Such higher prices are seen when packaging recovery targets are missed, but, data shows the targets are likely to be achieved comfortably this year.

By the end of Q3, about 76,500 tonnes of aluminium packaging recycling had taken place against the full year target of 94,500 tonnes and a surplus is expected at the end of the year.

The UK’s Packaging Waste Regulations are based on accredited recyclers and exporters making PRN/PERNs available for packaging waste they have been responsible for recycling. This way, recycling operators gain additional funding to support recycling activity.

ACP points out that where a small number of accredited exporters and reprocessors are responsible for significant volumes of recycling, notes can be withheld, distorting the market and leading to price escalation.

Phil Conran, the ACP chair, said accredited operators appeared to be applying restrictive practices, which is compelling producers to pay unreasonable costs for PRN/PERNs to avoid non-compliance. However, it is not actually leading to additional environmental outcome.

‘Agencies are unable to take any action to force accredited operators to place the PRN/PERNs onto the market, thus limiting any action against restriction of the supply of evidence,’ he wrote.

The ACP has requested the Competitions and Market Authority to investigate the possibility of any illegal activity taking place in the PRN/PERN market in the form of restrictive practices.

‘We will also be working with Defra (government environment department) and the agencies to consider options to create a more stable system,” he concluded.
