More responsible aluminium production
In response to climate change and the challenges facing the world, Hydro offers certified low-carbon and recycled aluminium products which help customers minimize the carbon footprint of their products while ensuring responsible production.
Hydro’s low-carbon aluminium products carry a carbon footprint below 4 kilo CO2-equivalents (CO2e) per kilo aluminium compared to the 14.8 kilo world average and are designed to help customers reach their sustainability goals and meet the growing demands of climate-conscious consumers.
Our low-carbon primary aluminium is produced using renewable power in the form of wind, solar and hydropower and hyper-efficient production process, as with our low-carbon product Hydro REDUXA.
Our low-carbon offerings also include a range of recycled products with a high share of post-consumer aluminium scrap allowing for a footprint below 4 kilo CO2e per kilo aluminium. Hydro CIRCAL is a premium, verified product containing at least 75% post-consumer scrap and carrying a market-leading low CO2 footprint of 1.9 kilo CO2e per kilo aluminium.
