Hydro has decided to invest GBP 2.4 million in its Deeside recycling plant in the UK. The investment will increase the plant’s aluminium recycling capacity to 70,000 tonnes per year providing UK customers with low-carbon aluminium such as Hydro CIRCAL. The Deeside aluminium recycling plant in the UK are getting ready to recycle even more post-consumer aluminium into new low-carbon products.The investment strengthens Deeside’s position in the UK extrusion ingot market providing customers with higher recycled content in our metal from Q1 2023.The post-consumer aluminium scrap volume processed in Hydro Deeside has been limited by melting furnace capacity. This investment will expand the melting capacity for shredded aluminium scrap, remove the operational bottleneck, reduce raw material costs and increase the volume of post-consumer scrap recycled at the plant. In addition, the technical upgrades to the aluminum melting furnace at Deeside will result in significantly reduced energy consumption.
