Constellium SE, a producer of aluminum products, has partnered with German recycling company OSR GmbH & Co. KG, a German recycling company, and a European automotive manufacturer to use laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology to sort mixed aluminum scrap from automotive manufacturing on an industrial scale.
Constellium supplies aluminum products for 1 in 4 vehicles produced in Europe and the United States. The company currently processes large volumes of LIBS-sorted scrap at its Neuf-Brisach plant in France, recycling it into high-quality aluminum solutions without compromising material integrity. Meanwhile, the LIBS sorting technology allows for fast and accurate sorting of aluminum scrap with more than 95% purity for both alloy families.
Constellium says that utilizing LIBS technology will enable the recovery of high-quality alloys from scrap, thereby reducing carbon emissions and meeting sustainability goals.
