Aluminum is valuable at every stage of its life cycle and can be recycled endlessly without losing its properties. Recycling requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum and generates 95% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. It also conserves natural resources and reduces waste.
Maximizing recycled input is a core strategy for Constellium. We use a significant share of recycled aluminum in our manufacturing processes. With already considerable recycling capacity, we plan to substantially expand it in the coming years.
Constellium can recycle over 750,000 metric tons of aluminum annually, the equivalent of more than 55 billion cans.
Beyond our operations, we collaborate with partners to help raise global recycling rates.
