Sustainability

Closing the loop.

The scrap you bring us is not the end of the road. We sort and process it until it is no longer waste and becomes raw material again, ready for new production. For aluminium it matters twice over: remelting it takes about 95% less energy than producing it from ore.

End of WasteCertified since 2014: the processed scrap is no longer waste (Reg. (EU) 333/2011 and 715/2013).
