Markets in Focus
-
Recycled Black Mass
When batteries are manufactured or reach their end of life, production offcuts or used batteries can be collected, dismantled and shredded to produce black mass, from which critical metals including lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese can be extracted.
The recycling of black mass has become increasingly important as a supplement to virgin material supply as well as reducing the carbon footprint in the battery supply chain.
We have global comprehensive price coverage across China, Europe and U.S. markets.
Contact us to learn more about Recycled Black Mass prices.
-
Platts U.S. Midwest Aluminum Transaction
For over 40 years the Platts US Aluminum Transaction has evolved as a leading global price benchmark. The assessment reflects the spot physical value of 99.7% P1020 high-grade aluminum, in ingots, sows or T-bars, delivered, duty-paid plants in the US Midwest.
The transaction price benchmark is also used for other products in the aluminum value chain such as billet, sheet, foil, extrusions, cable, cans and automotive parts.
