Having your pie and eating it (none / 0)
Daily Mail
Britain is now facing a pie crisis amid a 'perfect storm' of foil tins running low due to rising global aluminium prices, ongoing labour shortages and inflation.

The British Pie Association is urging pie makers to re-use the foil tins rather than throw them away to tackle the shortages.

to reuse, as US Americans used to say before the Great New Green Deal infiltrated the lands of conspicuous consumption, is to put your money where your mouth is.

What makes aluminum scarce and prices skyrocket??

Aluminum prices hit 13-year high amid power shortage in China | Nikkei |

One of the challenges faced by the industry is rising energy prices. Before, aluminum smelters moved to Yunnan Province, where there are hydroelectric power stations, paid a so-called preferential price for power but now, the government is trying to stop attracting too many smelters to go to the Province and fewer smelters are benefiting from such low power costs. Other big consumers of power such as silicon and magnesium manufacturers are also expanding, further raising the risk of energy outages. 

Aldel largely shuts down production for 6 months due to high gas prices. Dismissals not excluded.
