A light weight and circular material

Aluminium plays an important role in the transition towards a circular and sustainable economy. The material is for example used to produce lightweight vehicles, energy-efficient buildings, and resource-efficient packaging. Lightweighting is an important feature in today’s global climate and resource challenge. With lighter products, emissions and energy usage can be reduced. Recyclability is another key feature of aluminium.
