Hydro Aluminium Metal Executive Vice President Hanne Simensen said, “Hydro CIRCAL has set the benchmark for recycled aluminium since its launch in 2019. By expanding Hydro CIRCAL to the foundry alloy product portfolio, we are opening new doors for our automotive customers to decarbonize parts of their cars with high-quality recycled aluminium containing at least 75 percent post-consumer scrap. We are excited to create new tailor made solutions for our customers that support their ambitious decarbonisation roadmaps.”
The expansion follows verification of Alumetal’s Nowa Sól sorting plant in Poland by certification body DNV to meet Hydro CIRCAL standards. Alumetal has been fully owned by Hydro since 2023.
