EGA undrapes UAE's largest aluminium recycling plant, boosting low-carbon production and circular economy goals
Recycled AL
For years, the UAE has been exporting a quietly valuable resource: its own aluminium scrap. Collected domestically, that scrap has largely been shipped overseas for processing, stripping the national economy of the added value it could generate.

Primary AL
24 Jun 2026
The morning session saw the SHFE aluminium 2606 contract trade with a centre lower than the same period of the previous trading day. As aluminium prices declined, the release of stockpiling demand from earlier price drops, combined with pervasive bearish sentiment, kept overall buying interest weak today. Transaction prices continued to move lower, with mainstream trades at a discount of RMB 30-50 per tonne against the SHFE aluminium July contract. The east China shipment sentiment index stoo ...

Why Chalco's Guangxi Huayin refinery remains central to its aluminium business
Alumina
24 Jun 2026
Every aluminium smelter depends on a steady supply of alumina, and securing that supply begins at refineries such as Guangxi Huayin in southern China. Operated by Aluminum Corporation of China (Chalco), the facility converts imported and domestic bauxite into smelter-grade alumina, supplying both the company's own smelting network and external customers along the southern Chinese coast.
