Recycled aluminium weekly recap: Aluminium packaging recycling rate surges 15% Y-o-Y in 2021; EFW collection increases by 8%; Alcore begins construction of pilot plant to recover fluorine from aluminium smelter waste

The recycling of aluminium is emerging as the most vital segment for the future, as aluminium recycling conserves around 90% of the energy it takes to produce new aluminium. This is considered great, as mining bauxite and turning it into aluminium is highly environmentally destructive and energy-intensive. However, it is known that it takes around twice the energy to produce new aluminium. The aluminium packaging recycling organization, Alupro reported that the recycling rate for aluminium packaging is on course to excel at the 2021 target. Tom Giddings, Alupro’s General Manager said: “It is incredible to see that we have nearly hit targets for 2021, with three months of the year left to go.” The Sydney, Australia based company presumes  Alcore’s exclusive technology for recycling excess bath into high-value products like aluminium fluoride that might deliver economic and environmental benefits to the country’s aluminium smelters depending on imports.
