How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Aluminum Can Scrap saw 64 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 20 from the previous month. The catalog is growing rapidly, so the offers available today are newer than those from the prior month. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to see which ones are closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
9 of the 74 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes both sellers with a long history and those who are just beginning to list. This gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less track record to evaluate. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for a first order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminum Can Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 16 October 2026 - 513 active listings, 135 buyer requests, 119 source documents, and 1,015 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Aluminum Can Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Aluminum Can Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
