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.

Beiersdorf pushes sustainability with recycled aluminium can usage expansion in Europe

EDITED BY : STAFF EDITOR 2MINS READ

Recycled Aerosol Aluminium Cans

Beiersdorf has finalised the conversion of its European aerosol cans to aluminium made entirely from post-consumer recycled material, working in partnership with Ball Corporation.

The initiative was initially trialled in 2024 through a pilot programme before being rolled out more widely across Europe during the following year. As a result, several NIVEA MEN deodorant sprays, along with selected 8×4 aerosol products, are now sold in cans produced from fully recycled aluminium.

According to Beiersdorf, adopting this material is expected to lower the emissions associated with its aluminium packaging. Kelvin Oecksler, global packaging development lead in the company’s R&D division, described the development as a significant milestone for the organisation’s environmental strategy.

He stated that for packaging, the change represents more than a technical update, calling it a decisive move towards a genuinely circular system that aligns with the company’s broader sustainability ambitions. Beiersdorf’s objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045 was mentioned by Oecksler, stating that meaningful progress will require solutions that benefit the environment while also creating value for consumers and the business. In this context, he emphasised the importance of the company’s strategic collaboration with Ball.

The two partners said the project contributes to their wider efforts to incorporate climate-conscious design principles and strengthen responsible business practices. Victoria Marletta, vice-president for commercial, personal and home care at Ball Corporation, said the milestone demonstrates the enduring value of aluminium as a material capable of supporting a waste-free future. She added that the project shows environmental responsibility can coexist with commercial performance and aligns with Ball’s global target of cutting absolute emissions by 55 per cent by 2030.

Ball also pointed out that the initiative highlights how fully recycled inputs can be used effectively within large-scale packaging production.
