CAB Launch Closed Loop Recycling ‘Pilot’
 Justin Ratcliffe, (CAB Chief Executive)
In 2019, CAB’s 25th Anniversary year, it is totally appropriate that the Association will focus on the metal’s recyclability, one of its outstanding and best known characteristics. However, it sometimes comes across that recycling is some sort of early 21st Century phenomenon and we forget that aluminium has been recycled for so long that 75% of the total production since the 1880’s is still in use. What’s more, recycling aluminium brings no loss in quality and crucially creates an ‘aluminium bank’ for re-use in the future as only 5% of the original energy required for primary extraction is required for re-smelting.
In many ways we take this for granted and forget not only about the recycling journey for pre and post consumer aluminium scrap, but also how valuable and important that scrap is in ultimately helping to meet peaks in demand from a variety of sectors especially construction. Read More
I hope you enjoy this month's issue.
