Coventry University has partnered with aluminium foundry Alucast to investigate how recycled aluminium can be processed into high-grade materials suitable for use in critical industries.

The initiative is part of the Clean Futures Programme and aims to help reduce the UK's reliance on imported primary-grade aluminium alloys, which are widely used across sectors including automotive and defence.

According to the university, the UK currently imports up to 1.25 million tonnes of primary-grade aluminium each year because domestic production is insufficient to meet demand.

As part of the project, researchers from Coventry University's Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) are working with West Midlands-based Alucast to identify end-of-life aluminium sources that can be processed into high-grade material.

The university noted that much recycled aluminium is unsuitable for certain applications because contamination prevents it from meeting the purity standards required by critical industries.

By studying the lifecycle of aluminium and its post-consumer processing routes, the research team has identified opportunities to recover and reprocess end-of-life aluminium into material that meets the required specifications.

According to Coventry University, the project will help Alucast reduce carbon emissions, lower production costs and make more efficient use of resources while supporting greater use of recycled aluminium in high-value manufacturing.
