CBAM

A New Era of Carbon-Linked Trade Regulation

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), introduced by the European Union (EU) in 2023, is a trade policy designed to support climate action. Acting as a carbon tax on imports, it imposes additional costs on products based on their carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. CBAM extends the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), reinforcing the bloc’s push toward carbon neutrality by 2050.


Its main objective is to prevent “carbon leakage”—a scenario where European industries are disadvantaged by strict domestic emission rules while foreign competitors operate under weaker regulations. By charging a carbon cost at the border, CBAM helps level the playing field for EU producers and encourages global industries to adopt low-carbon technologies.


Impact on the Metals Industry and Opportunities for Recyclers

From its pilot phase in 2023, CBAM targets six carbon-intensive goods: steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizer, electricity, and hydrogen. For metal distributors and recyclers, particularly those dealing with steel and aluminum, the policy brings significant changes.

Importers must now collect and report emission data throughout their supply chains. They must also submit CBAM certificates, calculated based on verified carbon emissions from manufacturing. This imposes new compliance responsibilities and could increase sourcing costs. However, it also drives innovation.

For companies like Dong-A Specialty Metals, which specialize in recycling and corrosion-resistant alloys, CBAM presents an opportunity. Firms with high recycled metal content or carbon-neutral processes are better positioned to meet the EU’s standards. Furthermore, global buyers are prioritizing carbon transparency and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices, enhancing the appeal of eco-friendly manufacturers.

As the CBAM framework evolves, recycling and low-emission technology will become strategic advantages. This shift aligns with Dong-A Specialty Metals’ commitment to sustainable sourcing, resource circulation, and carbon reduction in the global metals supply chain.
