Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a UAE-based copper and aluminium solutions provider, has reportedly unveiled its new Green Aluminium Rod, produced using recycled aluminium in compliance with the EU's CBAM regulation.
The production of DMB's Green Aluminium Rod requires significantly less energy than primary aluminium and emits only 0.5 tonnes of CO2-equivalents per tonne (approx.), reflecting DMB's commitment to turning the aluminium industry into green economy.
DMB also follows a zero-waste philosophy and practices sustainable sourcing to contribute to the aluminium industry's broader environmental and sustainable goals.
By using recycled aluminium for its new product, DMB has set new benchmarks for environmental responsibility within the sector. Recycled aluminium, the key raw material of DMB's product, reduces energy consumption by 95 per cent and saves greenhouse gas emissions by 97 per cent compared to extracting new aluminium. Each tonne of recycled aluminium saves 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions and 4 tonnes of bauxite, equivalent to the emissions from driving over 3,000 miles.
On the launch of the product, Mohamed Al Ahmedi, Chief Executive Officer, Ducab Metals Business, commented: "We embrace our role as frontrunners of a green transition through our Green Aluminium Rod production. DMB has developed a comprehensive roadmap that navigates the traditionally hard-to-abate aluminium sector, outlining initiatives that foster a sustainable, low-carbon economy. Central to this vision is aluminium's role in a carbon-neutral world. As we anticipate the launch of full-scale Green Aluminium Rod production in Q4 of this year, we focus on reducing emissions, promoting 'low carbon' aluminium, enhancing carbon footprint transparency, and championing circularity. We are also committed to implementing sustainability and fair trade. Through our holistic approach and commitment, we confidently elevate aluminium as an environmentally friendly material for the 21st century and beyond."
