Aluminium - Enriching A Billion Lives

#MakeInIndia  Hello there! You’ve surely heard about the import subtitle billets in our previous post. Right? Yes! I was pretty impressed with the kind of work that Vedanta is carrying out for customer value addition.   Well, you’ll be even more impressed when you hear about us making alloy ingots for the automobile industry. Automobiles. Wow! I would like to know more. But wait! First tell me what an ingot is.

Aluminum recycling is probably the best thing which contributes towards the creation of a greener planet. Unlike other metals and plastics, aluminium is 100 per cent recyclable. The metal can be melted down and reformed without losing any quality over and over again. In fact, aluminium has been recycled for nearly 100 years now and commands a high value on scrap market and this drives collection for further recycling. Aluminum, after being recycled, has exactly the same properties as new but takes just five per cent of the energy to produce. Would you believe that an incredible 75 per cent of the metal ever made is still in use today? It is true. The metal can be reused in the production of a multitude of different products, ranging from cars to window frames, and from aeroplanes to foil trays. This endless reuse cycle is also known as ‘closed loop’ recycling. It is thus good to know about the recycling process of the ‘green’ metal. Collection Cans, foils, aerosols ...
