Aludium has announced its 2020 Sustainability Report. The report outlines aluminium recycling as one of the pillars of its business leadership. The company’s global recycling capacity reached 200 KT in 2020 due to major investments.
The company, which focused on increasing its ability to produce recycled aluminium, has announced that its Amorebieta plant's DC3 multi-chamber furnace had increased the percentage of scrap recycled by 300% from 2018 in 2020.

“Our environmental commitment to our customers, the planet and society is to work on finding and designing more sustainable, innovative and environmentally friendly solutions using a higher percentage of recycled aluminium.” said Lionel Chapis, Aludium’s CEO.
“Our present has a shape, and it is circular. Thanks to the developments made over recent years, we are now able to remelt 70% of the sheet metal ingot we need ourselves, and we see greater future potential with new investment. A few years ago, this proportion was less than 40%.”
Aludium has highlighted that it helps protect the planet through using renewable energy and by improving energy efficiency, reducing polluting gas emissions, protecting biodiversity, managing natural resources responsibly, reducing primary aluminium use and increasing the recycling of scrap, among other things. The company’s success story in 2020 is the development of the closed-loop recycling programmes that Aludium established with major customers.
“Aludium closed the business year with zero covid case transmission in its facilities and the safety goals it set itself were reached: reduce the overall recordable incidents rate (TRIR) and the total recordable frequency rate (TRR). We are very pleased with our rates since, compared to other companies in the sector, our total recordable accident rate (TRR), remains low. However, we will not let our guard down and will continue to work to offer the best solutions to our clients while creating safe, motivating and healthy work environments to protect our most precious asset”. Lionel Chapis added.
