Used Beverage Containers: UBC [Talc]
- Description
- Used Beverage Containers are typically referred to as UBC. This material is just what it says, aluminum beverage containers. Aluminum food containers should be removed as they will bring down the quality. Often residual moisture remains in the container resulting in a moisture deduction at the smelter.
- Upgrade potential
- In some cases, the tabs from the cans can be removed and upgraded to tough/taboo.
