Carole Dieschbourg, Luxembourg Minister for Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development has presented the award to Hydro. The national award highlighted the aluminium facility’s production of low-carbon aluminium.
“The minister emphasized that Clervaux’s efforts, especially with production of CIRCAL 75R aluminium extrusion ingot, which is guaranteed to contain at least 75% post-consumer, recycled aluminium, fit perfectly with the country’s priority to develop a circular economy and deliver on climate issues,” according to Hydro press release.
CIRCAL and REDUXA, Hydro’s extrusion ingot with a guaranteed maximum carbon footprint of 4kg of CO2 per 1kg of aluminium produced, are part of the company’s efforts to reduce climate emissions and increase aluminium recycling.
