18th International
Recycled Aluminium
Conference
Metal Bulletin Event’s International Recycled Aluminium
Conference has for the past several decades provided the
key annual industry forum for examining what is driving
this sector at world, regional and national level, its expert
speakers and panelists giving delegates an insight into this
vital and growing business.
Like many of the metals sectors, recycled aluminium
plumbed the depths in early 2009, but has since seen
a steady reversal in fortunes, with ingot values rising to
close to 2006’s record highs and scrap becoming more
available. But not all companies are reaping the benefits of
recovery to the same degree, while others have been quick
to take advantage of the upturn in demand. Why are some
companies more adept than others at this? Why are some
regions faring more strongly, and what can be done to
improve volumes and margins elsewhere?
If you are involved in the aluminium recycling loop – as a
scrap generator, merchant, processor or consumer, if you
use secondary aluminium alloy in your plants, or provide
goods and services to the industry, or if you simply need to
understand more about the dynamics of this key industry
activity – then join us in Krakow, a beautiful and historical
city at the heart of southern Poland’s industrial region, for
the 18th International Recycled Aluminium Conference.
Nowhere else will you have the chance to learn, discuss
and network with so many key executives of the global
aluminium recycling business.
Benefits of attending
• Meet and network with key recycling industry decisionmakers
from around the globe
• Examine and discuss industry dynamics with our expert
panel of international speakers
• Uncover market opportunities and technology options
for making your business more successful
• Find out more about aluminium recycling and
