Niche Fusina Rolled Products Srl’s Post

This week let’s talk Aluminum ! / Parlons Aluminium cette semaine!

To further improve our carbon footprint, Alluminio di Qualità S.p.A. (“AQ”), the largest Italian based distributor of aluminium flat rolled products, and Niche Fusina Rolled Products Srl (“Fusina”), have agreed to close the scrap loop for marine material. This is a very important step for both AQ and Fusina. By closing the scrap loop, both companies will be able to create a sustainable and repeatable supply chain. Given the relative short distance between the two companies’ productions facilities, we will coordinate the logistics to reduce the delivery carbon impact (which generally represents one of the highest carbon impacts of our supply chain). #circulareconomy #aluminium CarbonChain Alluminio di Qualità S.p.A.

Adaptiq LLC said last week that it had selected a site for its proposed aluminum billet facility in the US, with official details expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The company has previously said it is looking to locate the project in Ohio, and PerenniAL will serve as its exclusive sales and marketing partner. The proposed mill is said to be supported by increased demand for domestic and sustainable secondary aluminum billet over imported primary aluminum billet. US imports of primary billet in 2023 did fall to their lowest level since 2011, as seen below.

As a proud member of the Speira team, I'm excited to share some fantastic news about the #aluminiumfoil industry. The European aluminium foil market experienced a robust growth of 4.6% during the first nine months of 2024. According to the latest figures from the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA), total deliveries rose to nearly 666,200 tonnes (2023: 636,200 tonnes) compared to the same period last year. Notably, the third quarter saw an impressive increase of almost 15% to 220,300 tonnes (2023: 191,900 tonnes). This growth highlights the increasing demand for high-quality aluminium products like our VELA solution. VELA stands out with its exceptional strength, flexibility and sustainability, making it the perfect choice for various industries. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e5nji4qG

Most people do not realize that the material left over after automobile shredding systems still contains a enough nonferrous metals, stainless steel and residual amounts of ferrous metals that it is worth exploring a system to process, liberate and recover these materials as a stand alone business. When you own and operate 6 automobile shredders, live on an island that has limited landfill space and is always looking for ways to generate energy in the most efficient way, and your tag line is “I ♥ RECYCLE”, the opportunity to process this material is too hard to pass over. Matec is an SSI customer located in Hokkaido, Japan who has recently installed a processing system to harvest marketable metals from auto shredder residue and produce engineered alternative fuel from the remaining fractions. It’s an incredible facility and an incredible group of people. If you are ever there, you can even stop in at their “Matec product store” and buy items made from recovered materials as a souvenir. Thank you to the entire Matec team for allowing SSI to share this part of your story. Here’s the video ▼
