TOMRA publishes new eBook on the future of aluminium recycling
Leading global sorting solutions provider, TOMRA Recycling, has published a new eBook to highlight the opportunities that aluminium recycling presents and demonstrates how the latest sorting technologies can unlock vast potential in this thriving and dynamic industry.
The global aluminium recycling industry offers abundant potential for growth and long-lasting change. As companies increasingly commit to becoming more sustainable, reducing their carbon footprint and supporting decarbonisation efforts, aluminium recycling is a catalyst of transformation. The use of recycled aluminium not only delivers environmental benefits but also improves operations for aluminium producers, processors and recyclers.
To help recyclers and processors unlock the vast benefits associated with recycling aluminium, TOMRA has published a new free-to-download eBook titled ‘The Green Revolution: A guide to the future of aluminium recycling’. The eBook provides an overview of the current global market for aluminium and stresses the need for recyclers to understand the sources and composition of the aluminium they are recycling.
Up to 39 million tons of CO2 emissions could be avoided
With European Aluminium and its Circular Aluminium Action Plan predicting that an increase in aluminium recycling rates could lead to CO2 emission savings of up to 39 million tonnes per year by 2050*, aluminium recycling is set to play a key role in decarbonisation. Unprecedented demand for aluminium will transform how we make use of our precious resources, with secondary aluminium becoming a crucial means of mitigating global warming.
TOMRA’s new eBook also highlights the range of sensor-based sorting technologies that can be used and configured to create a clean aluminium fraction based on recyclers’ specific requirements. The latest cutting-edge sensor-based sorting technologies can create furnace-ready aluminium for use in the manufacture of aluminium products for high-end applications, helping to close the loop on aluminium.
