Aluminium: Waste Disposal
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of trends in the level of aluminium scrap exports to non-OECD markets; and what trade or regulatory measures his Department is considering to prevent the leakage of aluminium scrap away from the UK and European market.
Answered by Chris McDonald
The Government has established a Metals Circularity Group, working collaboratively with industry and expert stakeholders, alongside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the Ministry of Defence, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. This will examine scrap supply and trends across steel, aluminium and critical minerals, and to consider whether further policy or regulatory measures are needed.
