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.

Environment Agency reports record aluminium packaging recycling in 2020

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Aluminium packaging collected for recycling in the UK recorded its highest in 2020, according to Preliminary figures by the Environment Agency. Data showed that 145,035 tonnes of aluminium packaging was collected for recycling last year.

The data from the National Packaging Waste Database (NPWD) revealed a 24 per cent increase from the 2019 data and a 26 per cent rise from 2020 target. The final data is yet to come as reprocessors and exporters will disclose data by the end of this month.

Rick Hindley, executive director at Alupro, said: “While only preliminary figures, I was delighted to read the latest data published on the NPWD. The past 12 months have seen a significant increase in the volume of aluminium packaging collected for recycling, which should be seen as a considerable achievement.

“Alongside reaching its highest recycling rate on record, the industry has exceeded its obligated targets by more than 30,000 tonnes – a notable increase year-on-year and considerably higher than any other material type. Such an impressive increase is not only a direct impact of Covid-19 and the resulting national lockdowns, but also suggests increased public awareness about the widespread benefits of best practice aluminium recycling.

“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we have continued to run our highly successful MetalMatters and Every Can Counts behavioural change programmes across multiple locations nationwide. Both have proven instrumental in engaging with householders about how quick, simple and beneficial it is to recycle aluminium packaging.

Aluminium packaging collected for recycling through kerbside, bring and on-the-go systems witnessed growth year-on-year. The tonnage recovered from incinerator bottom ash saw a significant uplift.

“Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2021, we predict the ongoing impact of Covid-19 (and ongoing lockdown restrictions) to drive continually high aluminium packaging recycling rates. However, in line with the predicted return to work and schools, it’s important that we switch our positive habits from kerbside to on-the-go systems – this will prove instrumental to not only meeting obligated targets for 2021, but also realising our ambition of 100% recycling rates across the UK.”
