Proposal to launch European domestic aluminium extrusion scrap assessments: pricing notice

Fastmarkets proposes to launch two price assessments for aluminium extrusion scrap for the European domestic market.

The assessments will consider scrap extrusions, also known as profiles, comprised of 6063 aluminium alloy in two qualities: clean production scrap and post-consumer scrap with maximum impurities of 5% (also known as 95/5).

The specifications of the new price assessments will be as follows:

Aluminium scrap, clean production extrusions (6063), delivered consumer Europe, € per tonne
Quality: Shall consist of one alloy (6063/HE9) and may contain butt ends from the extrusion process but must be free of any foreign contamination. Anodized material is acceptable.
Quantity: minimum 25 tonnes
Location: Delivered consumer works, Europe
Timing: Within 4 weeks
Unit: Euro per tonne
Payments terms: 30 days, other payment terms normalized

Aluminium scrap, post-consumer 95/5 extrusions (6063), delivered consumer Europe, € per tonne
