Aluminum Scrap: A Key Global Trade Commodity for a Circular Economy

Some scraps are worth more than you can ever know, and aluminum scrap is definitely one of them. It has become a valuable resource in today's world, which is moving toward a circular economy and sustainable manufacturing. We all know that aluminum metal is popular for its salient features such as being lightweight, ductile, corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic, and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. However, do you know that producing primary aluminum is highly energy-intensive? While recycling aluminum scrap takes about 95% less energy, and it can be repeatedly recycled without any loss in quality or key properties. And for this very reason, aluminum scrap has a high value in the recycling market. Whether it's for remelting into ingots or direct use in secondary manufacturing, this critical trade commodity continues to attract steady interest from scrap aluminum buyers, importers, and industrial recyclers. Markets such as Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East have notably high demand for aluminum scrap, offering exporters valuable opportunities to tap into these regions and grow their businesses.



What’s Behind Market Demand for Aluminum Scrap and Where Does It Come From?

You may ask why there's such high demand for something like aluminum scrap, which is nothing but discarded metal. Well, there are many good reasons behind it, including its high recyclability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, recycling aluminum scrap offers environmental benefits as it reduces energy consumption, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, as well as, leads to less landfill waste. Moreover, we cannot deny the fact that aluminum is a valuable material used across various sectors (such as automotive, packaging, and construction), and recycling it allows for its continued reuse. All these factors add to the growing demand for aluminum scrap worldwide. But do you know where it comes from? Or, what are its sources? Let's find out!


Different Sources of Aluminum Scraps:

Source TypeDescriptionExamples
Industrial ScrapGenerated during the manufacturing or fabrication processTrimmings, machining chips, casting offcuts
Post-Consumer ScrapComes from products discarded after use by consumersUsed beverage cans, old appliances, foil waste
Construction & Demolition ScrapComes from building and infrastructure activitiesWindow frames, siding, roofing sheets, wiring
Automotive ScrapComes from end-of-life vehicles and auto part manufacturingCar bodies, engine parts, wheels
Packaging ScrapIncludes aluminum used in consumer and industrial packagingCans, foil, blister packs, containers
Electrical ScrapComes from discarded electrical and electronic productsConductors, cables, transformer parts
Aerospace ScrapHigh-grade aluminum from aircraft manufacturing or decommissioningAircraft panels, structural parts, engine parts
Household ScrapGeneral aluminum waste generated at homeCookware, utensils, furniture parts
Municipal CollectionAluminum recovered through municipal recycling programsMixed household aluminum waste



What Types and Grades of Aluminum Scrap Are Most Sought-After Worldwide?

Aluminum scraps can be categorized into a number of grades on the basis of various factors. The main factors include purity and alloy composition, form or source, and condition or treatment. Here is a detailed classification of different grades or types of aluminum scraps that every exporter or supplier should know to meet the specific market demand. 


Aluminum Types & Grades:

CategoryGrade / TypeDescription (Properties & Recycling Value)Common Applications
Purity / Alloy Composition
1000 Series (Pure Aluminum)
  • High-purity aluminum (=99%)
  • Have excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance
  • Highly desirable for recycling due to minimal alloying
Electrical conductors, food packaging, chemical equipment
3000 Series
  • Manganese-alloyed aluminum
  • Known for good formability and corrosion resistance
  • Easily recyclable, especially in beverage packaging
Beverage cans, roofing sheets, cookware
5000 Series
  • Magnesium-alloyed aluminum
  • Offers strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability
  • Recyclable & commonly used in marine and transport sectors
Marine components, pressure vessels, automotive panels
6000 Series (6061, 6063)
  • Magnesium and silicon alloy
  • Have good strength and corrosion resistance
  • One of the most recycled aluminum types (especially from extrusion scrap)
Window frames, pipes, architectural profiles
7000 Series
  • Zinc-alloyed aluminum
  • Have very high strength but lower corrosion resistance
  • More difficult to recycle (due to complex composition)
Aerospace parts, high-performance bike frames
Commercial Pure Aluminum
  • High-purity aluminum
  • Used in specialized applications
  • Offers high recycling value due to its clean composition & minimal contaminants
Electrical systems, food processing equipment
Dural Aluminum
  • An older term for aluminum-copper alloys
  • Offers high strength
  • More complex to recycle due to copper content (but valuable in certain sectors)
Aircraft structures, industrial components
Form / Source
Extrusion Scrap
  • Comes from aluminum profiles
  • Usually clean and often 6000 series
  • High recycling value if sorted properly
Window frames, heat sinks, architectural parts
Sheet Scrap
  • Flat aluminum sheets, often offcuts or leftovers
  • Easy to recycle if uncontaminated
Construction, siding, roofing, packaging
Cast Aluminum
  • Molded aluminum components
  • May contain impurities and needs sorting before recycling
  • Lower in value compared to wrought alloys
Engine blocks, machinery parts, cookware
UBC (Used Beverage Cans)
  • Clean post-consumer scrap with consistent alloy composition (mainly 3000 series)
  • High volume and highly recyclable
Beverage and food packaging
Turnings and Borings
  • Small chips and shavings from machining processes
  • Often oily or contaminated
  • Needs cleaning before recycling
Machine shops, metalworking facilities
Alloy Wheel Scrap
  • Recyclable aluminum from vehicle wheels, usually 356 alloy
  • High demand in secondary aluminum markets
Automotive wheels, casting industry
Aluminum Cable Scrap
  • Electrical wires and cables.
  • Recycling value depends on insulation and alloy purity
Power lines, telecom infrastructure
Foil Scrap
  • Thin aluminum foil, usually from post-consumer waste
  • Lightweight but high-purity
  • May require cleaning or de-lamination
Food and pharmaceutical packaging
Condition / Treatment
Clean Aluminum
  • Free from paint, insulation, or attachments
  • Most desirable condition for recyclers
  • Needs minimal processing
Industrial offcuts, sorted consumer scrap
Painted Aluminum
  • Aluminum with coatings or paint.
  • Slightly lower recycling value due to need for de-coating
Siding, panels, architectural facades
Dirty Aluminum
  • Contaminated with other materials like plastic, rubber, or wood
  • Requires cleaning or advanced separation
  • Lower in value
Demolition debris, mixed household waste
Lacquered/Laminated Scrap
  • Aluminum with adhesive films or laminated plastic
  • Needs specialized processing
  • Less commonly recycled
Food containers, aseptic cartons
Mixed Alloy Scrap
  • Unsorted scrap containing multiple aluminum alloys
  • Must be sorted to restore value
  • Less desirable in unprocessed form
Automotive shredders, municipal scrap


You should keep in mind that these grades impact scrap value and recycling difficulty. Moreover, some varieties like 6063 aluminium scrap, 6061 aluminum scrap, and 7075 aluminum scrap fetch the highest recycling value. In addition, exporters of aluminum scrap often diversify their offerings and trade in related materials such as:
