US bauxite imports fall 15.8% from Q3 2024 to Q1 2026
US imports of bauxite declined to 644 thousand tonnes in Q1 2026, down 15.8 per cent from 765 thousand tonnes in Q3 2024. The decline reflects longer-term pressure on the US primary aluminium and alumina industries, including reduced refining capacity and weaker demand for imported raw materials. Trade uncertainty and the increasing use of recycled aluminium have added to the changes reshaping the country’s bauxite supply chain. Despite remaining below the level recorded in Q3 2024, Q1 2026 ...

Solar PV boom creates a new aluminium recycling opportunity as panel waste grows
The solar industry has moved from a niche technology to one of the world’s fastest-growing sources of renewable power. But as installations surge, another question is becoming harder to ignore: what happens to all those panels when they break, lose efficiency or are replaced by newer technology? There were 2.4 terawatts of solar PV capacity generating electricity worldwide at the end of 2025, enough to power more than one billion homes. It took almost 70 years to reach the first terawatt, but ...

UK aluminium recycling growth depends on access to global markets
The UK will struggle to build a resilient circular aluminium economy if protectionist trade measures restrict access to recycled metal markets and overseas processing capacity, according to Tom Bird, executive chairman at Enicor.  Bird argues that free and fair trade in recycled aluminium is essential at a time when demand is rising, energy prices are increasing and geopolitical tensions are disrupting global supply chains.
