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.
European Aluminium, located in Brussels, was created in 1981 to represent the European aluminium sector. They actively interact with decision-makers and the broader stakeholder community to promote aluminium's remarkable characteristics, ensure growth, and maximise their metal's contribution to meeting Europe's sustainability problems.
On December 2, the body representing aluminium production and jobs in the United States, the Aluminium Association declared the launch of the Choose Aluminium campaign. This campaign comes loaded with a fresh website at www.chooseAluminum.org, digital media buy, important materials emphasizing the sustainable properties of 100% recyclable and durable metals. It also includes videos of workers and aluminium stalwarts. The campaign follows the debut of the Aluminium Association’s new website, earlier this month.

Aluminium package recycling rates have once again reached record-breaking levels, according to Q3 figures issued by the Environment Agency in November, and appear to be on course to exceed their annual objective. In the third quarter of 2021, 39,974 tonnes of aluminium packaging were collected for recycling, which recorded a surge of 15% Y-o-Y from 34,700 tonnes in the previous year. From January to September, the total amount of aluminium packaging collected for recycling was 121,277 tonnes. For the same period last year, 111, 754 tonnes of aluminium packaging were collected, an increase of 9% in 2021.

The developer of high technology businesses, ABx Group’s 87% owned chemical refining subsidiary, Alcore starts off the construction of a pilot plant, which will focus to produce precursor chemicals used to recover fluorine from aluminium smelter waste termed as “excess bath”. 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.

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the United States exported 7,370 tonnes of US aluminium scrap to Indonesia in September 2021, showing a month-on-month hike of 170 tonnes or by 2.36%. In August 2021, 7,200 tonnes of US aluminium scrap was exported to Indonesia, showing a slip of 1,810 tonnes from 5,390 tonnes in July 2021.
