Gränges expands sustainability efforts with dual recycling partnerships
Gränges has taken significant steps towards its 2040 net-zero goal through two strategic partnerships that underscore its commitment to sustainable aluminium solutions. These collaborations focus on recycled and low-carbon materials, advancing Gränges’ commitment to delivering circular products to its customers, paving the way for a greener future in the aluminium industry.
Circularity with Scepter
Gränges Americas entered a ten-year agreement with Scepter, Inc., a leader in aluminium recycling, to source recycled aluminium ingots with a carbon emissions intensity of just 0.3 tonnes CO2e per tonne or lower. Paired with the use of renewable electricity at Gränges’ US plants, this partnership enables the company to offer industry-leading low-carbon solutions.
“This agreement advances our sustainability goals and strengthens our position as a leader in closed-loop recycling and circularity partnerships for the HVAC, specialty packaging, building and construction, and automotive sector”, said Patrick Lawlor, President of Gränges Americas.
Scepter’s CEO, Garney Scott, added, “We are proud to partner with Gränges, a company at the forefront of sustainability and decarbonization. This agreement allows us to deliver high-quality low-carbon ingots and supports mutual growth.”
Pioneering post-consumer scrap recycling with Federal Metals
Gränges Americas also signed a long-term strategic partnership with Federal Metals to introduce post-consumer scrap into its production. This initiative will process post-consumer HVAC units into usable aluminium scrap for Gränges’ Huntingdon facility. Unlike pre-consumer scrap, this marks Gränges’ first use of post-consumer materials, a milestone in its sustainability journey.
It enables Gränges to work with HVAC customers in a closed loop recycling system, where scrap from used HVAC units is remelted into aluminium coils for new products. The process reduces carbon emissions by over 90 percent compared to primary aluminium, conserving valuable resources.
“This partnership is a milestone in our sustainability efforts,” Patrick Lawlor said. “Incorporating post-consumer scrap lowers our carbon footprint and provides a meaningful recycling solution for our HVAC customers.”
Federal Metals’ expertise in processing post-consumer HVAC units positions Gränges as a pioneer in integrating HVAC scrap into new products, and the company is setting a new standard for the aluminium foil sector.
