Hydro has supplied recycled aluminum to the Mercedes-Benz Trucks reECONIC project, delivering 31 extruded parts totaling about 600 kg. The components are made from Hydro CIRCAL, containing at least 75% post-consumer scrap, and produced entirely in Europe. Based on the electric eEconic vehicle, the project applies circular design across sourcing, manufacturing and end-of-life recycling to reduce emissions and improve resource efficiency. The company noted that aluminum can be repeatedly recycled without loss of properties, supporting low-carbon mobility.
