【SMM Aluminum Flash News】Aluminium Duffel Restarts Greenmelt Recycling Furnace in Belgium

Published: Sep 30, 2026 11:01 (GMT+8)

Aluminium Duffel has restarted its Greenmelt recycling furnace at its Duffel facility in Belgium, expanding its ability to process post-consumer aluminium scrap.

The company already uses internal production scrap and pre-consumer scrap in its production process. With Greenmelt back in operation, the facility can now also process contaminated post-consumer aluminium scrap, enabling used aluminium products to be recycled into raw materials for new, high-quality applications while supporting growing demand for lower-carbon aluminium.
