The national award, given every two years by Luxembourg business federation FEDIL, delivered by Carole Dieschbourg, the Minister of Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development, highlighted the plant’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.
“This is a big recognition,” says Plant Manager Ludovic Dardinier.
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 Hydro’s efforts to lower climate emissions and increase recycling of aluminium.
