ASI certifies TRIMET Aluminium’s recycling and casting operations against Performance Standard Certification

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has certified TRIMET Aluminium SE against its Performance Standard Certification for aluminium recycling and casting operations at Gelsenkirchen, Germany plant. The plant recycles aluminium scrap coming mainly from the automotive, electrical and mechanical engineering industries.

The recycled aluminium is then cast as standard alloys and customer-specified alloys and delivered back to the automotive, electrical and engineering sectors.

The independent, third-party audit of TRIMET’s Gelsenkirchen site was carried out by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We warmly congratulate TRIMET on achieving ASI Certification for the recycling operations at their Gelsenkirchen facility. Aluminium recycling operations are a key part of the circular economy that enable the production of new downstream products with a reduced footprint. TRIMET’s first ASI Certification is an important achievement for this proud family-fun business and their customers.”

Chairman of the Board Philipp Schlüter said, “The certification of our production plant in Gelsenkirchen in accordance with ASI requirements confirms my company’s efforts to further develop sustainable processes and products. Social and ecological responsibility has always been part of TRIMET’s sense of purpose and is also a key guideline for our actions. Sustainability is a decisive competitive factor in the sector. As a raw materials manufacturer, TRIMET has a particular responsibility. With the continuous improvement of environmental standards at our production sites and the climate-friendly production of aluminium, we are also making our contribution to the European Union’s Green Deal and to achieving global climate protection targets.”
