The CBAM in its current design raises significant challenges for aluminium. European Aluminium urges the Commission to address key design elements to ensure that the mechanism effectively protects against carbon leakage while maintaining the competitiveness of European producers.

European Aluminium welcomes the new proposal on circularity requirements for vehicle design and end-of-life vehicle (ELV) management. The updated regulation should focus on improving material quality for reuse, better vehicle design, and enhanced recycling processes. This will strengthen the recycling of critical raw materials like aluminium and reduce reliance on virgin materials.

From 5-7 March 2025, METEF, the international expo for aluminum, aimed at highlighting new chances for the industry and provide opportunities to diversify one's business, returns to Bologna. METEF is an event created and shaped in close collaboration with businesses and industry insiders, and today, in a global context of heated competitiveness, it is revived by focusing on the established expertise and experience of the industry segment.
