EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The U.S. aluminium industry purchased an estimated 751 million pounds of aluminium scrap during May 2016, according to aluminium recycling statistics published by the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Interior, up 10.6 per cent over the May 2015 total of 679 million.

According to a USGS estimate, U.S. recovery of aluminium and aluminium alloys totalled 657 million pounds in May which records a rise of 11.2 per cent year-over-year. YTD preliminary data for aluminium recovery through May indicate an estimated total of 3,238 million pounds, up 4.6 per cent from the 2015 YTD total of 3,096 million. U.S. exports of scrap, not included in the government’s consumption statistics dropped 10.8 per cent to 1,163 million pounds YTD in comparison to the same period of 2015.

News

Aluminium imports of ingot, scrap and mill products into the U.S. and Canada increased 62.0 per cent YOY to 816 million pounds in June 2016. Aluminium exports in June (including scrap, which accounted for roughly 50.4 per cent of reported exports) dropped 11.9 per cent to 513 million pounds YOY. Exports of scrap dropped 21.4 per cent YOY. During H1 2016, total imports were up 18.8 per cent to 3,952 million pounds while exports were down 1.4 per cent to 3,005 million pounds. This indicates production cut from the domestic producers in favour of cheap imports from China and Russia.

According to the Aluminium Association report for July 2016, new can stock (class) scrap receipts totalled 58.0 million pounds which records a drop of 6.6 per cent from the July 2015 total of 62.1 million pounds. Class scrap receipts dropped 5.3 per cent from the June 2016 total of 61.3 million pounds. YTD class scrap receipts through July 2016 totalled 406.8 million.
