AS Metal, Aluminum recycling – Romania

The project developer, AS METAL COM SRL, is specialized and authorized in the recycling of aluminum metal waste and to transform this waste into secondary raw materials ready to be reintroduced into the industrial circuit.

The secondary aluminum raw materials put on the market by AS METAL correspond to the requirements of the European Industrial Standards (Recyclable materials EN 13920 1-16:2003 Aluminum and aluminum alloys. Scrap.); the American Standards INSTITUTE OF SCRAP RECYCLING INDUSTRIES INC, as well as to the Directives and the European Environmental Regulations (Regulation 333/2011 establishing the conditions under which certain aluminum and iron wastes are no longer considered as waste).

The technologies used by AS METAL COM SRL allow to recover and separate metal waste with a fraction mass mainly of aluminum resulting from the processing of secondary aluminum raw materials and other ferrous and non-ferrous metal substances which in turn are put on the market in accordance with the industry standards that govern them. The technological processes guarantee a high recovery efficiency not only through the reported quantities but especially through their quality.

The output capacity of the aluminum recycling plant is given by the types of processed waste and is between 49.000 up to 77.500 tons/year.

The main goal of the project is the reduction of CO2 emissions through aluminum recycling, displacing the primary aluminum production from raw materials (mined minerals, bauxite). In the case of primary aluminum production from raw materials, the process has a much greater consumption of energy and therefore a much higher environmental impact regarding CO2 emissions.

The project is in line with specific UN requirements and with the European circular economy (aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources) directives.
