Aluminum Industry in Action
Aluminum Week: Powering Up American Aluminum
The Aluminum Association and Wittsend Commodities Advisors released new research this week (Powering Up American Aluminum: A Roadmap for Next Generation Supply Chain Resilience) outlining pathways to move the United States industry toward greater self-sufficiency in its domestic aluminum supply. The bottom line — building a more resilient domestic aluminum industry consistent with the Trump administration's goals will require an all-of-the-above approach to securing metal supply. This means energy policy that supports smelter and secondary production expansion; recycling policy and infrastructure investment to collect and sort more scrap aluminum; and smart trade policy that enables access to abundant and affordable metal from trusted partners like Canada.
