Rio Tinto signe un contrat de 5 ans pour des granulés biologiques avec SuperChar afin de réduire l’usage du charbon dans ses raffineries de Gladstone.

International Aluminium Institute (IAI) data show that around 420 billion aluminum beverage cans enter the global market each year. While about 71% are recycled, the current can-to-can recycling rate is only around 33%. At this rate, repeated recycling through 2050 could generate about 207 billion recycled cans, while raising the closed-loop rate to 62% through better UBC sorting, remelting and logistics could increase this to around 685 billion cans. IAI estimates that only 47% of recycled cans currently return to new cans, compared with a potential 87% using existing technology, highlighting significant room to strengthen closed-loop recycling.

Germany's building sector generated around 130,000 mt of aluminum scrap in 2023, according to a report by AUF and European Aluminum, with AUF's recycling network collecting approximately 75,000 mt. Aluminum scrap recycling rates in Germany are close to 100%, while around 70% of scrap from building products is processed and remelted domestically, mainly into secondary extrusion billets and rolling ingots. Approximately 83,700 mt was recycled back into new building products, supporting a closed-loop aluminum system in the construction sector.

Crown Holdings reported that the average recycled aluminum content in its beverage packaging reached 67% in 2025, with total aluminum procurement at approximately 1.23 million mt. The company aims to raise recycled content in aluminum beverage cans to 80% by 2030, while committing to source at least 10% of its annual primary aluminum procurement from low-carbon producers by 2030. Renewable electricity accounted for 44% of Crown's global electricity mix in 2025, while combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined by around 30% from the 2019 baseline.
