FY25 saw the best results in sustainability in Gränges. Sourced recycled aluminium volumes reached a record 300 thousand tonnes, increasing 20 per cent year-on-year. Carbon emissions intensity dropped to 6.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne (Scope 1+2+3), a decrease of 12 per cent from 2024.

Additionally, the Gränges–Scandium Canada MoU supports sustainability by enabling lighter, high-strength aluminium alloys that reduce material use and improve energy efficiency in end applications. Integrating scandium into aluminium production, it enhances recyclability and lowers the overall environmental footprint of advanced manufacturing.
