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.

Aluminium recycled from coffee pods in Cardiff to be used for packaging and automotive components

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

Recycling aluminium holds the potential to create a more sustainable and environment-friendly atmosphere. As a result, companies and regions worldwide are doing their bit to bring a sustainable environmental difference. Since April, the Cardiff region of the United Kingdom has managed to recycle 1.6 tonnes of aluminium and other coffee pods from over 2,600 residences.

The coffee pods collected by the new service will be recycled in the UK, with the aluminium and plastic used to build new items such as packaging and automotive components, and the coffee grinds used to generate renewable energy and soil improver. The new programme enables families to join Podback so that the council may collect coffee pods from people's homes at no cost to the taxpayer to continue increasing the city's recycling rate.

Cllr Caro Wild, Cabinet Member for Climate Change at Cardiff Council, said, "As a council we don't have any power or influence over the types of packaging and waste produced by companies selling products and materials. Our role is to recycle as much of it as possible, while ensuring the safe treatment and disposal of any waste that cannot be reused or recycled. The Podback scheme is an excellent example of 'producer responsibility', where the manufacturers are taking the initiative to recycle the waste they generate.

Residents must sign up for the new on-demand collection system using the Podback website. Podback will supply a roll of 13 bags to the home and instructions on utilising the system. When a bag is full, householders must schedule a kerbside pickup.

“Any households that use these coffee machines but haven’t yet signed up to the scheme are encouraged to do so, as it is quick and easy to do, and the council is keen to expand the scheme as far as possible. The council is continuing to work with waste manufacturers to try to recycle even more products through Cardiff’s kerbside recycling service, so we can continue to increase the city’s recycling and composting rate and reach the challenging targets that have been set by Welsh Government,” added Cllr Caro Wild.
