Current and Future Secondary Casting Alloy Market in Europe

Published in

2023

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) and European Aluminium commissioned the Institute for Technological Research into Materials, Metallurgy, and Processes (IRT M2P) to conduct a comprehensive market study of secondary casting alloys in Europe.

The study analyses the current value chain for aluminium casting alloys in the region, potential future developments in the casting alloy market, and innovations in associated technologies and their potential consequences.

You’ll also find in this study lists of possible adaptations that industry stakeholders may consider in response to anticipated developments, while assessing whether these adaptations could yield benefits or pose challenges.

Cover page of a technical report titled "Market Development for Secondary Casting Alloys Beyond Motor Blocks - Study on Secondary Casting Alloy Market and Recycling." The document includes reference details and is dated 04/05/2023. The IRT M2P logo appears at the bottom.

Reference document on how to treat scrap flows in carbon footprint calculations for aluminium products

In 2022, the IAI published Guidelines on Transparency that state that when reporting the cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of products that contain scrap there should be full transparency on the methodology used for the carbon footprint calculation. This reference document, summarising three potential approaches, should serve aluminium producers to disclose the methodology they ...
