Three major aluminium giants, Capral, Rio Tinto and Sims Metals, have successfully collaborated to have a closed-loop aluminium recycling plant in Queensland, Australia, giving tribute to the "Made in Australia" gesture.

n this collaboration, Capral's Bremer Park facility will provide post-production aluminium scrap, which will be further sorted and processed by Sims Metal and later be delivered to Rio Tinto's Boyne Smelter in Gladstone for remelting. 

These scraps are estimated to produce more than 1,000 tonnes of aluminium, with the recycled content being at 20 per cent, and then would be supplied back to Capral's Bremer Park manufacturing site located in Southeast Queensland to indulge in extrusion operations, aiding in establishing a recycling solution domestically.
