Sustainability in Action: Powering a Low-Carbon Economy with Sustainable Aluminium Trade

Why Aluminium Recycling Matters

Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. Recycling it uses up to 95% less energy compared to producing primary aluminium, significantly reducing carbon emissions and industrial waste.

Our Impact

  • Over 50,000 tonnes of aluminium UBC processed annually

  • Helping reduce CO₂ emissions by 75% compared to virgin production

  • Supporting low-carbon supply chains for manufacturers and remelters

  • Minimising landfill waste through efficient sorting and processing systems

Responsible Operations

We maintain strict compliance with international environmental regulations and procedures. All sourcing, processing, and distribution is handled with full traceability and adherence to global recycling standards.

Enabling a Circular Economy

By returning high-quality recycled material back into the manufacturing loop, we help close the material lifecycle — contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient global economy.
