Ronan Murphy, Editor of Argus Non-Ferrous Markets, spoke to Argus’ Associate Editor and senior aluminium expert Jethro Wookey to explore where the low-carbon aluminium market is now, where it may go, and how primary aluminium producers are also seeking to increase sustainability of their product through increased use of scrap metal.
