Aluminium Stewardship Initiative announced on Friday, March 5, that it certified Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd.’s two plants in Fuzhou, China, against Chain of Custody Standard Certification for remelting and casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, and finishing activities.

The company produces rolled aluminium materials dedicated to metal container packaging, high-end lithographic, electronics and electrical appliances, and transportation.

As an important role of the Chinese aluminium industry, we have a responsibility to make efforts for the creation of a sustainable-development society. Being an Aluminium Stewardship Initiative member gives us an opportunity to share experience with other members and achieve higher sustainability standards.”

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We warmly congratulate Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. on their CoC Standard certification at their two Fuzhou, China facilities. As downstream interest for sourcing responsibly produced aluminium continues to grow, particularly in the packaging sector, Chalco Ruimin’s Performance Standard and CoC Standard Certifications will enable the company to meet the market’s demands and demonstrate the sustainability credentials of their rolled materials.”
