Recycled aluminum access conditions improve future prospects for broad consumption

"The aluminum industry access conditions (2012)" (draft) proposed new recycling aluminum-scale projects should be 10 million tons / year and above; recycled aluminum project capital ratio must be 35% or more, compared with the access capacity threshold doubling the current version. This is the eighth in copper and aluminum summit in Shanghai, China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch Tian Xiaofeng, senior analyst pointed out.

Tian Xiaofeng said: Last year, our recycled aluminum accounting for primary aluminum consumption ratio of 24%, the broad prospects for future consumption.

Development of renewable energy-intensive aluminum is aluminum break, direction of high pollution problems. Of recycled aluminum production from 130 million tons in 2002 to 4.8 million tons in 2012, an average annual rate of 14%. According to "second five" plan, by 2015, China's output of aluminum recycled aluminum accounts for the proportion will reach 30%.

Tian Xiaofeng pointed out that the developed countries average per capita consumption of aluminum in 25 kg or more, while China is only 10 kg. Recycled aluminum in the world aluminum industry the proportion of more than 50% of less than 25%. China is in the industrialization and urbanization mid-capita aluminum consumption is still at a low level, the recycled aluminum to provide a broad space for development.

In recent years, China's secondary aluminum industry has fundamentally changed the mode of production, to family-owned small and medium enterprises as the main pattern of gradual shift to large-scale, modern, intensive direction.

Data show that the annual output of more than 50,000 tons of recycled aluminum business from 2003 to 2011 the development of two of 20, the largest of recycled aluminum enterprise actual production reached 35 million tons. Regeneration low aluminum consumption, accounting for less than 5% of the average consumption of aluminum. Data show that producing one ton of renewable scrap aluminum equivalent to saving 3.4 tons of standard coal, water 14 m3, reduce solid waste emissions by 20 tons
