Summary:

The US Aluminum Association called for restrictions on some scrap metal in an effort to bolster a domestic supply.

In a white paper released Tuesday, the industry group said it’s seeking an immediate ban on exports of used beverage containers outside North America, along with potential controls over time on other types of “mill-ready” scrap. It also wants improved tracking mechanisms to better monitor the flow of aluminum scrap and enforce restrictions.

The call for restrictions mimics those from the copper industry earlier this year, which sought to restrict exports of copper ore and scrap metal.
