LME Responsible Sourcing Q&A

In the first of our webinars putting our new products in the spotlight, we will be joined by Argus and Metabolic to discuss the used beverage can market.

UBCs are infinitely recyclable and turning them into new cans saves energy and resources. This contract forms part of our drive to support the circular economy and greater sustainability in the metals market. 
In this session, we'll discuss: 
· Fundamentals of the US UBC market
· Challenges around US can recycling rate
· Argus UBC benchmark price
· The LME Aluminium UBC Scrap US (Argus) contract
· Use cases for the UBC contract

We look forward to answering any questions you might have about what these proposals may mean for the market.
