Recycling weekly: Hydro produces world’s first batch of recycled aluminium with green hydrogen, also acquires land for recycling plant in Spain

Hydro is breaking boundaries with a latest land acquisition in Torija, Spain to build an advanced aluminium recycling plant. The plant will have an annual production capacity of 12,000 tonnes and will use carbon-free green hydrogen instead of natural gas. At Hydro's extrusion plant in Navarra, Spain, a recent test showed that carbon-free green hydrogen can be used as a substitute for natural gas in the recycling of aluminium. The test was successful. Teknodrom Valuable Maden Recycling Inc. is Turkey's first and only plant for recycling precious metals and has expertise in precious metal recycling. AlcircleBiz has successfully onboarded Teknodrom.

Teknodrom Valuable Maden Recycling Inc., Turkey's first and only precious metals recycling plant, was established in 2015. Teknodrom, which began in the computer sector and subsequently moved on to the iron and steel business, gathered expertise in precious metal recycling (like gold, silver, and palladium), which was never done in Turkey.

The recycling company focusing on developing sustainable circular economy solutions in the lithium-ion battery supply chain to recover critical minerals, Lico Materials and Karo Sambhav, an industry leader in designing and implementing transformative Circular and EPR solutions, have signed an MoU to collect and recycle lithium-ion batteries and strengthen the circular economy of India.

On behalf of the Belgian recycling business SITEL, Eggersmann Anlagenbau has completed a light packaging waste (LPW) processing facility in the province of Liège. The processing facility will separate various recyclable elements like aluminium, HDPE, or PE films, apart from separating different PET colours in fractions.

The volatile market conditions have made forecasting the direction of imported aluminium prices this week challenging. Prices are subject to differing viewpoints as the London Metal Exchange (LME) experiences modest volatility.

Hydro is reportedly purchasing land in Torija, Spain, to construct a state-of-the-art aluminium recycling plant with an annual capacity of 12,000 tonnes. As per the report, Hydro has already signed an agreement for land purchase with a subsidiary of the Pulsar Properties Group.

Construction

During a recent test conducted at Hydro's extrusion plant in Navarra, Spain, carbon-free green hydrogen was successfully used as a replacement for natural gas in the recycling of aluminium.
