The UK Aluminium Federation (ALFED) has announced a Net Zero Report, aiming to achieve the long-standing goal of decarbonisation, sustainability, and a circular economy. While its actions outlined in the early roadmap remain the same, the new report includes contributions and challenges from members, stakeholders, and industry representatives to infuse a bigger and bolder vision.

ALFED considers its Net Zero goal as a pathway to enable the UK aluminium industry to achieve a vision that fits its interests.
The report contains industry experts’ responses based on overwhelming theme of collaboration and systematic approach to solution development to explore greater opportunities for investment in the UK.
The objectives of the report are mentioned in detail, along with emerging action plans to support a Net Zero transformation by 2050. Developing a Sustain Aluminium centre in the UK, affiliated with many UK and Global Academic institutions, is a key objective.
Nadine Bloxsome, Membership & Sustainability Manager of ALFED, said: "This document vision and outlined action plan represents the best thinking of the stakeholders and knowledge partners involved to date. It is not the whole story, and we may not have all the right first steps, but the possibilities are endless; from more regular updates on a particular subject, through bid development, to involvement or leadership of an initiative or project.”
She added, “Collaboration is going to be key within our sector and across others. We have more in common with our industry and manufacturing neighbours than we have differences, and we will need to work together to build bigger conversations and bigger opportunities for change and resilience in the UK.”
“To achieve this vision, ALFED will work collaboratively to maximise the contribution of the UK aluminium sector in achieving the transformation, such that all aluminium production and recycling will be Net Zero by 2050,” concluded Ms Bloxsome.
The release of the report coincides with the UK Metals Expo, taking place in Birmingham during September 14-15. Hence, the copies will be distributed to visitors at the UKME, besides being available to ALFED members, prospects and industry colleagues.
