North Carolina’s aluminum scrap profile

North Carolina has a diverse aluminum scrap base. Charlotte’s logistics and DC explosion drives UBC and packaging aluminum from retail and beverage operations. The Triangle (Raleigh-Durham) brings beverage co-packing, pharma packaging, and an emerging EV and battery supply-chain footprint generating extrusion and sheet scrap. The Triad (Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point) retains furniture and textile manufacturing with associated aluminum offcut, plus a growing aerospace base around Greensboro (HondaJet, Boom Supersonic). Eastern NC adds food processing and ag.

NC’s automotive Tier supplier base — supporting OEMs across the Southeast — generates substantial aluminum extrusion, stamping scrap, and cast offcut. The Port of Wilmington provides East Coast container export.

North Carolina aluminum pricing context

Aluminum pricing tracks LME with grade-specific spreads. UBC has historically traded $0.50–$0.95/lb depending on LME and processor demand. Bare extrusion 6063 typically nets at small discount to LME. Cast aluminum at deeper discounts. Aerospace alloy scrap (properly segregated) trades at premiums. Charlotte-metro pickups typically net higher than rural eastern NC because of freight density.

FAQ — Selling Aluminum in North Carolina

Q: Can you handle aerospace alloy scrap from the Greensboro / Charlotte aerospace base?
A: Yes. Aerospace alloy scrap (2xxx, 7xxx, lithium-bearing) requires strict segregation and documentation to capture alloy premium. We work with NC aerospace OEMs and Tier suppliers to spec segregation programs that maximize net-back versus mixed-alloy pricing.

Q: Do you serve the EV and battery supply chain emerging in NC?
A: Yes. The Toyota battery plant near Greensboro and the broader EV/battery investment in NC is generating extrusion and sheet scrap that fits BlackBridge’s wheelhouse. We support PPAP-style documentation and chain-of-custody requirements common in OEM programs.

Q: How does NC’s lack of a bottle deposit affect UBC pricing?
A: NC has no bottle deposit. UBC pricing is set on pure scrap value plus regional processor demand — no CRV-style subsidy. Pricing is more volatile than deposit states but transactions are simpler. Index-tied contracts available for predictable monthly net-back.

Q: Do you handle furniture industry aluminum from the Triad?
A: Yes. Furniture and case-good manufacturing in the Triad generates aluminum trim, hardware, and fastener scrap. Volumes per site are typically modest but consolidate well across the regional furniture manufacturer base.
