What is Aluminum UBC Scrap?

Understanding the value of Used Beverage Cans

Definition & Composition

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.

Recyclability

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.

Market Value

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.

Sorting & Cleaning

The collected UBC scrap undergoes thorough sorting to remove contaminants and non-aluminum materials, followed by cleaning to remove residues and coatings.

3

Shredding & Decoating

Clean UBC scrap is shredded into small pieces and undergoes a decoating process to remove paints and lacquers, preparing it for efficient melting.

4

Compacting & Baling

The processed UBC scrap is compacted and baled into dense blocks to optimize transportation and handling efficiency.

5

Quality Control & Export

Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing before being prepared for export to international recycling facilities or domestic aluminum producers.
