Join AMU for a webinar about looming scrap export bans

The debate over whether to ban exports aluminum recycled materials is growing. But it’s a complicated question. And the rationale varies country by country. The European Union, for instance, is in a very different set of circumstances than the United States, which has been exporting aluminum scrap for some time.

Join Aluminum Market Update experts Greg Wittbecker and Nicholas Bell on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 11 a.m. ET as they explore the potential impact of looming scrap export restrictions. They’ll discuss how these developments could reshape trade flows, tighten supply chains, and create ripple effects for producers, traders, and stakeholders across the market.

Wittbecker is a senior advisor to AMU who brings over 40 years of leadership experience from Alcoa, Cargill, and CRU. He offers rare depth in commercial strategy, policy analysis, and industry evolution, with expertise spanning the trading floor to the boardroom.

Bell, senior editor for AMU, brings over half a decade of experience covering metals markets, pricing trends, and supply chain dynamics. Prior to joining AMU, he reported on aluminum, high-temperature scrap, and ferro-alloy markets at Argus Media, with additional coverage of minor metals and rare earths. His work has built deep expertise in North American metals pricing and trade flows.
