Fascinating, thanks. I can maybe shed some light, however I’m not 100% positive. And you very well might know all this: My read here is that “aircraft grade”

Fascinating, thanks. I can maybe shed some light, however I’m not 100% positive. And you very well might know all this: My read here is that “aircraft grade” alloys, probably like 2000 and 7000 series, are relatively harder to recycle. They are less used and more expensive, I cba to look up stats on raw production estimates, if they exist publicly. This is separate from recycled Aluminum being treated as a separate product(green aluminum), with effort made to bring it to parity with traditional Aluminum.[1] Again I don’t know for sure, but I suspect a lot of it comes down to Aluminum cans being the highest single use of Aluminum globally and being efficient to recycle and make with recycled aluminum.
