「アルミニウム：EV時代とクリーンエネルギーの産業金属 ― 住宅のドアから電気自動車のバッテリーへ、低炭素経済におけるタイのグリーンアルミニウムの新たなチャンス」 SO OK TRADING による記事：2026年3月19日

シルバー – 未来の金属 クリーンエネルギーと先端技術が世界経済の中心となる時代において、「銀 (Silver)」はもはや単なる装飾用の貴金属ではありません。ソーラーパネル、電気自動車、さらにはAIインフラまで、未来産業を支える戦略的な原材料へと進化しています。 この記事では、銀のあらゆる側面を深掘りします:

Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. Approximately 75% of aluminium ever produced is still in use today as it can be recycled endlessly without compromising any of its unique properties or quality. Aluminium’s lifecycle provides significant benefits through recycling, saving 95% of the energy it would take to make new aluminium metal. More information on recycling may be found here. Recycling aluminium has five steps: Step 1: Collecting Scrap There are two categories of aluminium scrap: New Scrap New Scrap is surplus material that arises during the manufacture and fabrication of aluminium products, up to the point where they are sold to the final consumer. For example, off cuts of aluminium sheet or extrusions are considered new scrap. Sometimes, this new scrap can be safely recycled by aluminium smelters as its composition is known. Old Scrap Old Scrap is material that has been used by the consumer and subsequently discarded. For example, used beverage cans, window frames, electrical cabling and car cylinder heads are all considered old scrap. Aluminium smelters are unable to safely accept this old scrap as its composition is usually unknown and it can be contaminated. Scrap aluminium is also collected from the community – from households, scrap merchants, local and regional authorities, etc. Step 2: Sorting Scrap The scrap is then sorted – grouping all coated (painted or lacquered) aluminium together, and grouping all uncoated aluminium together. Paper, plastic and other non-aluminium recycling needs to be removed. Step 3: Crushing The sorted aluminium is then crushed into bales – by compacting the aluminium scrap, it reduces freight, storage and handling costs Step 4: Remelting Uncoated scrap is loaded directly into a large furnace called a remelter, where it is heated at high temperatures and turned into molten form. If the scrap aluminium is coated, it is processed through a gas fired rotary furnace to remove any coating and then transferred to the remelter. Step 5: Casting The molten aluminium is cast at a temperature of just over 700°C to form ingots

「戦争が包装業界を揺るがす ― プラスチック供給の停滞、アルミニウム不足の始まり」 中東での戦争は世界のサプライチェーンに深刻な影響を与えています。特に石油化学と包装業界において、プラスチックは深刻な不足に陥り、代替素材としてアルミニウムが急速に需要を集めています。その結果、両方の素材が同時に逼迫し、食品や飲料の包装需要に対応できない状況が生まれています。 本記事では、SO OK TRADING が戦争による包装業界への影響を詳しく分析し、2026年に向けたリサイクル包装や新しいイノベーションへの対応策とビジネスチャンスをご紹介します。
