Ed Boyd
As the European Council seeks political alignment on the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), the debate over how to accelerate aluminium decarbonisation in bringing emissions accounting and demand for low-carbon metal into focus. Against the backdrop of Mission Possible Partnership’s (MPP) open letter, AL Circle speaks with Ed Boyd, MPP’s Global Policy Lead, about the policies needed to support the European aluminium industry’s transition. Boyd argues that effective decarbonisation must account for emissions from alumina refining and track Scope 2 emissions associated with purchased electricity. On mandatory green procurement and lead-market thresholds of at least 50 per cent for aluminium, he says producers are ready to supply low-carbon metal at scale and considers the proposed threshold...

From diverse scrap to a standard raw material: Avoiding downcycling in aluminium recycling operations
Erman CAR26 Oct 2026
Introduction Downcycling happens when scrap of mixed or unknown composition is melted together. The melt then contains elements that cannot be refined out economically, mainly iron, silicon, copper, zinc and excess magnesium. Once that happens, the metal can only go into cast alloys (A380 and ADC12 type) or be diluted with primary metal. Preventing downcycling…
