European Aluminium notes that the European Parliament’s position on the 2026–2030 heat and fuel fallback benchmarks does not go far enough to correct unrealistic cuts affecting key parts of the aluminium value chain. Ahead of trilogue negotiations, the association calls for a more effective adjustment that reflects technological realities, limits carbon leakage risks and preserves industry’s capacity to invest in decarbonisation.

European Aluminium responds to the consultation on the list of non-OECD countries authorised to import certain non-hazardous waste from the EU. The paper sets out the aluminium industry’s key considerations to ensure the new framework supports environmentally sound waste management, preserves access to secondary raw materials and strengthens Europe’s circular economy.

EA is looking for a motivated, technically minded colleague to join our team and support our standardisation work on aluminium construction products and the broader EN and ISO framework for aluminium alloy designation, interested in combining technical expertise with European standardisation work in a collaborative and international environment.
