Aluminium UBC Scrap Suppliers and Exporters: Buyer Guide

International buyers comparing Aluminium UBC Scrap offers should share their intended use, requested quantity and destination. Alkharteet confirms specifications and availability for each enquiry.

Used beverage can, or UBC, scrap is collected for recycling and remelting. The accepted condition varies by buyer. State the receiving facility’s requirements for loose or baled cans, sorting and contamination before requesting an offer.

What specifications should a buyer request?

Define acceptable moisture, foreign material, steel or other non-aluminium items and any requirements for bale preparation. Request current lot photographs, weight records and the sorting description, while recognising that photographs alone cannot establish the entire lot’s condition.

How should the lot be inspected?

Agree the inspection point, sampling or bale-opening procedure, weighing and how contamination is measured. Confirm whether the buyer’s nominated inspector and receiving facility accept the proposed evidence and material preparation.

What affects price and quotation terms?

Request a written quotation stating the product, quantity, quality basis, delivery point and validity period. Agree inspection, payment, freight and insurance responsibilities. A listing does not establish a price, reservation or shipment date.

How is packing and shipment arranged?

Discuss secure bale or loose-cargo handling, net weight and destination rules for recycling materials. Confirm any waste shipment documentation, carrier acceptance and freight responsibilities relevant to the actual transaction.

The Kenya Ports Authority describes Kenya’s ports. Confirm the actual route and responsibilities, and review Alkharteet’s export policy for the questions that shape an enquiry.

How clean should UBC scrap be?

Provide the receiver’s limits for foreign material, moisture and bale preparation. An inspection method should be agreed so both parties assess the same lot.

Can the material be shipped as bales?

Discuss the form and bale requirements with the team. Packing, weight and carrier acceptance are confirmed for the actual consignment.

Where can buyers find further guidance?

Consult Basel Convention information for background. Ask your receiving facility and authorities which standards, permits and safety requirements apply to the specific transaction.
