The United States is the world's largest secondary aluminium market, processing millions of tonnes of aluminium scrap annually. American scrap includes UBC (used beverage cans), Taint/Tabor, Zorba, and high-grade extrusion offcuts, feeding both domestic smelters and export markets.
US aluminium scrap is priced at a discount to LME aluminium, with regional differentials tracked by the AMM. Key grades include Taint/Tabor, Zorba, and old cast. Clean extrusion scrap (6063) typically achieves 65–75% of LME. Major processing states include Ohio, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania.
Domestic US buyers typically quote on a per-pound or per-ton basis delivered to their facility. Export sales are quoted FOB US port (Los Angeles, Houston, Baltimore). Asian buyers are active importers of American Zorba and Taint/Tabor.
Post your US aluminium scrap with grade (UBC, Taint/Tabor, Zorba, extrusion), purity, and location. Domestic buyers and overseas purchasers from Asia and Europe are active on MetalsPlace.
Buyers sourcing US aluminium scrap should confirm grade, moisture content, and contamination limits before finalising terms. FOB Los Angeles or Houston is the most common basis for export sales.
