Recent Developments

Recent Developments

Feb 18, 2026: The U.S. aluminium industry saw another smelter closure (Century Aluminum’s Hawesville, Kentucky plant) due to high energy costs, despite elevated import tariffs. The facility was sold to a data infrastructure firm, underscoring how rising industrial power costs are reshaping production economics and weakening U.S. primary aluminium output.

Nov 18, 2025: The European Commission announced plans to curb aluminium scrap exports to secure domestic supply for European recycling and decarbonisation goals. The policy initiative comes amid record EU scrap exports and is intended to balance producer, recycler, and downstream interests ahead of implementation in spring 2026.
