Hydro reaches key milestone in development of zero-emission aluminium technology
Hydro has produced aluminium using its new HalZero electrolysis technology for the first time. The milestone marks an important step in Hydro’s work to develop a new primary aluminium production process with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions. Since 2016, Hydro’s technology teams have been working to develop HalZero, an entirely new process for producing primary aluminium, which could replace the technology used globally today, first patented in 1886. The new technology is based on converting alumina into aluminium chloride before electrolysis in a process designed to keep chlorine and carbon in closed loops. The long-term ambition is to eliminate CO2 emissions from both electrolysis and anode production, releasing oxygen instead of CO2. Hydro has now produced metal from aluminium...

Recycled Asphalt market projected to reach USD 16.2B by 2033
Recycled asphalt, commonly referred to as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is produced by reprocessing asphalt materials recovered during road resurfacing, rehabilitation, or reconstruction activities. Rather than being disposed of in landfills, the reclaimed material is crushed, screened, and incorporated into new asphalt mixtures. This practice aligns closely with circular economy principles by reducing dependence on virgin raw materials while extending the service life of existing infrastructure assets. As sustainability becomes a strategic priority across construction and transportation sectors, recycled asphalt is increasingly viewed as a practical and scalable solution. How large is the recycled asphalt market today? According to Research Intelo, the global recycled asphalt market...
A young packaging for future generations
Learning from the source on a neutral ground, that is the main idea behind the seminar “A Young Packaging For Future Generations”, which is hosted in Columbus, Ohio, by BetterCans, LLC, in collaboration with The Ohio State University. The metal packaging industry lacked of a neutral place to educate the next generation of Canmakers, we did not have a single neutral location in North America to train new to the industry or existing Canmakers, or users of two-piece aluminium cans on the fundamentals of canmaking, endmaking and co-manufacturing processes. The initial idea of the seminar goes back to 1998 when we had the need to train operators, maintainers, production line leaders, and engineers on fundamental concepts of canmaking. At that time, we were aware of only two places in North...

RAM Ratings affirms Press Metal’s AA1 IMTN programme rating
RAM Ratings has affirmed the AA1 per Stable rating on Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad’s (Press Metal or the Group) RM5.0 billion Islamic MTN (IMTN) Programme (2019 per 2049) based on its strong market position and solid debt servicing ability. Press Metal is Southeast Asia’s largest primary aluminium producer, with a competitive cost structure compared to global peers, which supports its robust financial profile. The inherent price volatility in the aluminium industry, however, remains a key moderating rating factor. We view positively Press Metal’s ongoing investments in upstream assets, including an alumina refinery project in Indonesia and associate stakes in bauxite-mining companies. Upon completion of the refinery plant, the Group will be able to fully secure raw material...
