Understanding the value of Used Beverage Cans
UBC (Used Beverage Can) scrap consists of post-consumer aluminum beverage cans. These cans are typically made from aluminum alloy 3004 (body) and 5182 (lid), making them highly valuable for recycling.
Aluminum beverage cans are 100% recyclable and can be recycled infinitely without loss of quality. They represent one of the most successful examples of closed-loop recycling in the world.
UBC scrap commands premium prices in the recycling market due to its consistent quality, high aluminum content, and ease of processing. The Indian market for UBC scrap continues to grow with increasing beverage consumption.
Efficient and sustainable aluminum can recycling
We collect UBC scrap through our extensive network of collection centers, waste management partnerships, and direct industrial relationships across India.
The collected UBC scrap undergoes thorough sorting to remove contaminants and non-aluminum materials, followed by cleaning to remove residues and coatings.
Clean UBC scrap is shredded into small pieces and undergoes a decoating process to remove paints and lacquers, preparing it for efficient melting.
The processed UBC scrap is compacted and baled into dense blocks to optimize transportation and handling efficiency.
Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing before being prepared for export to international recycling facilities or domestic aluminum producers.
Environmental and economic advantages
Recycling aluminum UBC scrap uses 95% less energy than producing aluminum from raw bauxite ore, making it one of the most energy-efficient recycling processes.
For every ton of UBC scrap recycled, approximately 9 tons of CO2 emissions are prevented, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation.
UBC recycling exemplifies circular economy principles, with cans being recycled and back on store shelves in as little as 60 days after collection.
The UBC recycling industry creates jobs, generates revenue, and provides valuable raw materials for manufacturing, contributing to India's economic growth.
