AL Circle Analysis: Inside aluminium’s global recycling reckoning with scrap, solar and smelters

Aluminium’s circular economy is no longer a sustainability side story — it is becoming a contest over who controls scrap, who sets the compliance bar, and who can afford the energy to keep smelting. On one hand, recycled aluminium is being tested, as dross piles up in China, scrap ships out of the US faster than domestic recyclers can replace it, and only a third of the world’s beverage cans actually become cans again. On the other hand, governments are throwing real money at keeping primary ...

The solar industry has moved from a niche technology to one of the world’s fastest-growing sources of renewable power. But as installations surge, another question is becoming harder to ignore: what happens to all those panels when they break, lose efficiency or are replaced by newer technology?
