REAL ALLOY has acquired Récupération Valorisation Aluminium (RVA), a French specialist in salt slag recycling, to further enhance its existing salt slag processing plants in North America and Europe.
RVA is located in Les Islettes, 200 kilometers east of Paris. The company utilized its technology to process aluminium salt slag and reclaim its component minerals – Aluminium, salt and Aluminium oxide –, eliminating waste generation from aluminium recycling.

“This acquisition provides enhanced capability to recycle salt slag and the opportunity to further enhance our existing salt slag processing plants in North America and Europe and is another step towards further reducing our ecological footprint and becoming a more sustainable and fully integrated company. We are seeing the world and especially the Aluminium industry dramatically increase focus and efforts to improve sustainability. The addition of RVA further supports REAL ALLOY’s mission to capture the inherent economic value of recycled Aluminium by offering environmentally responsible processing solutions for our customers.”
