3 Raw Material Cost of Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap Recycling
The main raw materials of non-ferrous metal waste recycling industry are metal waste containing copper and aluminum, and enterprises in the industry recycle raw materials through waste suppliers and metal smelting plants. The cost of raw materials occupies an important share of the manufacturing cost of the industry, in addition, the industry mainly makes profits through the difference between purchase and sales. The metal impurity content in the waste is high and the metal content is low. After the resource recovery through over-enrichment and refining, the metal content in the finished product is high and the impurity content is low. In this process, the difference between buying and selling metal is generated. Therefore, the price and cost of raw materials not only affect the gross profit and cost of enterprises, but also affect the profit space of enterprises. Scrap metal content, impurity content and market supply and demand directly affect the price of raw materials, in addition to copper, aluminum and other non-ferrous metal prices will indirectly affect the recycling price of scrap, directly affect the purchase and sale price of metal, resulting in fluctuations in the profit space of enterprises, the price of metal is affected by the international environment, the financial market and the change of supply and demand structure.

6 Global Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap Recycling Market Drivers
‘Global Aluminum Scrap Recycling Market Drivers’
Table Global Aluminum Scrap Recycling Market Drivers
Drivers | Description |
The terminal is widely used downstream | The industry recycles aluminum waste and regenerates it into aluminum ingots. Its downstream is mainly for aluminum alloy die casting and casting parts manufacturing enterprises or trading industry, the terminal is mainly used in the automobile, motorcycle, mechanical equipment, communication electronics and home appliances furniture industry. According to the International Aluminum Association, aluminum is one of the most recycled materials, with 76% of the world’s aluminum being recycled. In addition, compared to refining aluminum in bauxite, recycling aluminum waste to make aluminum ingots is cheaper and more energy efficient. Therefore, the recycling of waste aluminum has significant economic advantages. And because aluminum metal has strong corrosion resistance, in addition to some aluminum chemical containers and devices, aluminum is almost not corroded during use, the loss is very small, and it can be recycled many times. The recycled aluminum industry has the characteristics of saving resources, reducing external dependence on aluminum mineral resources, environmental protection and economic advantages, and the benign development of the industry has great economic, social and environmental value. |
Aluminum scrap recycling demand | Aluminum metal has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, high specific strength, easy processing, beautiful surface treatment, etc., and is widely used in all walks of life. According to statistics, the world’s aluminum applications have reached more than 800,000 products. Some of the important uses of aluminum metal include transportation (aircraft, trucks, rail cars, ships, etc.), packaging (cans, aluminum foil, etc.), consumer durables (appliances, cookware, etc.), architectural decoration industry (such as roof panels, wall panels, partition panels, molding panels, interior and exterior decorative panels), electronics manufacturing industry (LCD TV backboard material, notebook computer shell material, mobile phone battery shell material, cable clad aluminum Belt, etc.). Therefore, the recycling of aluminum products has great potential in the world. In the aluminum recycling industry, the recycling of aluminum cans for packaging products is the easiest and most well-known. Brazil is the first country in the world to achieve 100% recycling of aluminum cans. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which uses industry data from the Aluminum Association to calculate recycling statistics, in 2018, the total recycling rate of aluminum container packaging such as beverage containers, food containers, aluminum foil and other aluminum packaging was 34.9%. Among them, the most recycled aluminum category is beer and soft drink cans, accounting for 50.4% (670,000 tons). Due to the huge global car ownership and the replacement and service life of cars, automotive scrap recycling also accounts for an important share of scrap aluminum recycling. The demand for scrap recycling of aluminum products, the recyclable characteristics of aluminum metal and the economic benefits of aluminum recycling continue to promote the development of the industry. |
‘Global Copper Scrap Recycling Market Drivers’
Table Global Copper Scrap Recycling Market Drivers
Drivers | Description |
Economic and environmental benefits of recycling copper scrap | Recycling copper is a very environmentally friendly way to reintroduce valuable materials back into production. Recycling copper requires less energy than primary production and reduces CO₂ emissions. It requires up to 85% less energy than primary production. Around the world, it saves 100 million MWh of electrical energy and 40 million tons of CO2 annually. In addition to the environmental benefits, recycling complex copper waste, such as e-waste, can also lead to the recycling of many other metals, such as gold, silver, nickel, tin, lead and zinc. Therefore, the recycling of copper contributes to the gradual realization of a circular economy. |
Demand for copper is growing | Copper is one of the materials that can be recycled repeatedly without loss of performance. There is no difference in the quality of recycled copper (secondary production) and mined copper (primary production), so they can complement each other to meet usage needs. Copper is the most electrically conductive metal after silver, which makes it the material of choice for power generation and transmission. In addition, with the rise of emerging areas such as new energy vehicles, electronics, home appliances and other industries, the demand for copper increases. As the international copper price continues to rise, the economy of copper scrap has also been highlighted, because the cost of using refined copper is too large, processing and smelting enterprises tend to increase the amount of copper scrap. According to the International Copper Study Group (ICSG), around 50% of the copper used in Europe comes from recycling. |
7 Market Limitations
‘Environmental protection risk’
In the field of non-ferrous metal waste recycling, waste water, waste and waste will be generated when processing scrap metal. Environmental protection expenses account for a certain share of manufacturing costs. Moreover, in recent years, the state and society have paid more and more attention to environmental protection, environmental management has been increasing, and the environmental protection requirements for enterprises are also getting higher and higher, so the environmental protection cost is also gradually rising. In addition, enterprises in the industry need to continuously improve the investment in environmental protection technology and environmental protection facilities according to emission standards. However, with the gradual improvement of exhaust gas emission standards, the existing environmental protection technology and supporting facilities may not meet the latest exhaust gas emission standards, and may be limited, discontinued or face the risk of environmental penalties, which will adversely affect the normal production and operation of enterprises in the industry.
‘Risk of rising energy prices’
The industry requires refining and electrolysis processes in the process of scrap metal treatment, which requires energy consumption. Therefore, energy costs account for a large proportion of manufacturing costs. Energy prices have risen in recent years due to factors such as COVID-19 and borderline wars. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine war has a great impact on the European energy market. The industry is divided according to regions, in Europe, the United States and Japan and other developed countries occupy an important share, non-ferrous metal recycling industry is more mature. Therefore, the rise in energy prices has had a certain impact on the industry.
