Why UBC

The cleanest scrap a melter can buy

Beverage cans are made from just two alloys, a 3xxx-series body and a 5xxx-series lid, so a UBC melt is predictable and easy to correct. Remelting aluminium takes around 95% less energy than making primary metal from bauxite.

The catch is that cans are thin and coated. Recovery depends on how clean, dry and dense the material is when it reaches your furnace. That's why we buy against a written spec, get every lot inspected before it ships, and tell you exactly which grade and packing you are getting.

Grades we trade

Baled, briquetted or shredded

We buy and sell against ISRI grade descriptions. Final limits for moisture, contamination and packing are written into each contract.

ISRI · TALDON

Baled UBC

Magnetically separated used beverage cans, pressed into bales. The most common form in international trade and easy to inspect at loading.

Packing
Strapped bales
Best for
Rotary & reverberatory furnaces
ISRI · TALDORK

Densified UBC

Cans compressed into high-density briquettes or biscuits. Loads more weight into each container and has less surface area exposed in the melt.

Packing
Briquettes / biscuits, banded
Best for
Maximising tonnes per container
ISRI · TALDACK

Shredded UBC

Shredded, magnetically separated can scrap. Suits plants with delacquering lines or continuous charging.

Packing
Loose in container or jumbo bags
Best for
Delacquering & continuous feed

How it works

From an overseas yard to your furnace

  1. Offer & spec

    The supplier shares grade, photos, quantity and loading port. We agree specs and a price, usually CIF an Indian port.

  2. Contract & payment

    A written contract covers grade, limits, packing, shipment schedule and payment terms (LC, CAD or TT).

  3. Inspection & loading

    A DGFT-recognised agency inspects the lot, runs a radiation check and issues the pre-shipment inspection certificate (PSIC) that Indian customs requires.

  4. Shipping

    Containers sail to Mundra or Kandla in Gujarat. Other Indian ports can be arranged.

  5. Customs clearance

    We file the bill of entry, pay the duties and clear the cargo under our IEC.

  6. Delivery

    Material is invoiced with GST and delivered to the melter's plant or collected at port.
