ALUMINUM SCRAP

2026年，“铝”成为全球争夺的战略金属！ 从美伊战争在中东爆发，到霍尔木兹海峡的封锁，以及卡塔尔和巴林的冶炼厂停产， 其影响迅速蔓延至全球：价格飙升、LME库存降至20年来最低水平，日本MJP溢价突破250美元/吨。

铝废料与 UBC 废罐：循环经济中的“白金”商机 泰国的铝废料市场正迈入一个令人振奋的新阶段。曾被视为“旧货”的废铝，如今已转变为支撑全球科技与可持续发展的战略性资源。尤其是 UBC（使用过的饮料罐）废料，正成为循环经济体系中的核心材料。2026 年，泰国将进一步巩固其作为亚洲再生资源枢纽的地位，推动废料从“边角料”跃升为“白金资产”。

UBC废铝罐：未来的绿色黄金 UBC（饮料用过铝罐）正从“可回收垃圾”跃升为全球循环经济的战略资源。纯度高达99%以上，能耗比原铝低95%，成为低碳制造的关键原料。

Thailand presents significant aluminum scrap opportunities due to its role as a major ASEAN processing hub, high import volumes (especially from the US), strong local manufacturing demand (automotive, electronics), and a growing focus on recycling for sustainability, with potential for suppliers in UBCs, wheels, and industrial scrap, though regulations are tightening. Key opportunities lie in supplying raw scrap to domestic smelters for ADC12 alloy production, catering to the automotive sector, and leveraging Thailand's strategic location for regional trade, but expect strict quality control and compliance. Key Opportunities Processing Hub: Thailand is a leading scrap processing center in ASEAN, transforming scrap into valuable alloys like ADC12 for industries. High Demand: Significant import volumes indicate massive local consumption, especially from the US, driven by manufacturing. Industry Focus: Strong demand from automotive, electronics, and construction sectors for recycled aluminum. Strategic Location: Ideal for refining and re-exporting, serving as a hub replacing China's role in US scrap trade. Recycling Growth: Government support and consumer interest in recycling create a robust supply chain for materials like aluminum cans (UBCs). Types of Scrap in Demand UBCs (Used Beverage Cans): High demand for clean, sorted UBC scrap. Auto Parts: Wheels, extrusions, and other aluminum components from the thriving auto industry. Industrial Scrap: Extrusion scrap, sheet scrap, and general factory offcuts.
