The United States’ aluminium paradox: A recycling ambition without the infrastructure to support it

Contributed by:

The United States has never spoken so confidently about the future of aluminium recycling, yet few countries are as unprepared to achieve what they are promising.

Foundry Ecocer’s “endothermic” approach to dross valorisation

Contributed by:

Introduction Green aluminium production based on scrap melting is now essential in the aluminium market. Melting contaminated scrap can present quality, environmental and yield issues. The dross generated by this process is contaminated with carbon and tends to burn, even violently. This is a safety, environmental and economic problem. Thermised dross has virtually no value, […]

Europe should dismantle its wrong-headed plans for a carbon wall

Contributed by:

The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said that a wise man changes his mind; a fool never will. We can, but also hope that supranational political entities like the European Union (EU) have the confidence and wisdom to reject foolish policy and legislation when it is exposed as such. Yet few measures better capture the […]
