Hydro Aluminum’s Extrusion North America unit reports that it recycled more than 220 million pounds of scrap aluminum in 2010. Of this, some 60 percent was post-industrial waste. The remaining 40 percent was post-consumer waste, representing an increase of nearly 20 percent over the preceding year. This growth was made possible by investments in equipment during the past two years that allows the company to recycle more painted scrap.
“Compared to 2009, our total 2010 recycling volume increased by 13 million pounds, this in a market that is still recovering from the recession,” said Lynn Brown, senior vice president for sales and marketing for Extrusion North America. “But we are particularly pleased that our efforts to increase our post-consumer recycling have yielded such good results. This fits with our global corporate mission to provide our customers with environmentally compatible products.”
