In response to increased demand for sustainable products, aluminum producers are increasingly investing in new and expanded recycling capacity. This includes the recycling of post-consumer and process scrap, such as used beverage cans, coffee pods, automotive wheel rims, stamping offcuts, or chips, which is essential to lowering the carbon footprint of aluminum products. To learn more about developments in the secondary aluminum and recycling industry over the past year, go to page 6.
