Product Description: Aluminum UBC Scrap (Used Beverage Cans)
Our Aluminum UBC Scrap is sourced from clean, post-consumer beverage cans that have been carefully collected, sorted, and processed for recycling and remelting. This material is ideal for aluminum ingot manufacturers, extrusion industries, and secondary aluminum producers seeking high-quality feedstock with consistent composition and low contamination levels.
Here’s the thing—aluminum is one of the most valuable and recyclable materials in the world. Using UBC scrap saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce new aluminum from raw ore. That’s why this product is both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Each batch of our UBC scrap is thoroughly inspected to ensure it meets international recycling and export standards. The cans are free from excessive dirt, liquid, or non-metallic materials, providing clean, dense bales ready for smelting or further processing.
We supply this material in baled or briquetted form, depending on customer preference and shipping requirements. Every load is packaged securely for container transport, ensuring safety and quality from our yard to your factory.
This scrap is widely used in industries producing aluminum sheets, billets, foils, and other semi-finished products. Whether you’re a recycling company, foundry, or manufacturer, our aluminum UBC scrap provides a reliable source of secondary aluminum that maintains the same mechanical properties and appearance as virgin metal.
What this really means is: you get a cleaner melt, lower production costs, and a greener image for your business—all from a single raw material source.
