(June 4, 2026 - Washington, D.C.) - Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) President Robin Wiener today released the following statement in response to Rep. Haley Stevens' (D-MI) introduction of the Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act:

"ReMA appreciates Rep. Haley Stevens' continued focus on ensuring U.S. aluminum producers have the feedstock necessary to support domestic production with the introduction of the Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act.

"As the voice of the U.S. aluminum recycling supply chain, ReMA supports policies that promote a strong, competitive and growing domestic aluminum industry. ReMA members prioritize supplying U.S. consumers and manufacturers, with exports markets serving as an important relief valve for material that either is not or cannot be consumed domestically.

"Today, the United States generates more recycled aluminum of all grades than can be consumed by domestic manufacturers. These exports help maintain efficient recycling operations, support investment in infrastructure, and ensure the recovery of valuable materials. As more U.S. secondary aluminum capacity comes online, U.S. recycling companies are ready to meet their feedstock demand.

"ReMA looks forward to engaging with Rep. Stevens, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to ensure discussions are informed by a complete understanding of aluminum recycling, domestic market dynamics and exports."
