Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has reportedly certified China Hongqiao Group Co., Ltd. against the Performance Standard V3 (2022) Certification for designing and producing aluminium and aluminium alloy high-precision foil at two of its subsidiaries in Shandong, China.
Weihai Chenxin New Material Co., Ltd. and Weihai Haixin New Material Co., Ltd. are the two subsidiaries of China Hongqiao Group that have received the certification. In addition to producing aluminium alloy high-precision foil, the subsidiaries also produce aluminium belts and plates.
