Hydro’s strategic investment of EUR 14.8 million to upgrade the annual recycling capacity in Atessa

About the project

The upgrade project in Atessa will significantly enhance the plant's recycling capacity, increasing it from 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes annually. Notably, 20,000 tonnes of this capacity will be dedicated to producing low-carbon aluminium derived from 75 per cent recycled post-consumer scrap.

The allocated funds will primarily go towards acquiring state-of-the-art recycling equipment. This includes a de-lacquering line, an additional furnace, and various facility upgrades. This strategic investment underscores Hydro's commitment to sustainable practices and reinforces its position as a leader in the aluminium industry.
