Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material that can be reused countless times without losing its properties. Recycling it saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and preserves natural resources. In this context, partnerships are crucial for the development and efficiency of the aluminium recycling industry. Visits to recycling plants are also important both for students, future industry specialists, and for partners. As Metal opened its doors to students from the University Politehnica of Bucharest as well as to its partners, who were interested in observing the entire recycling process. The event was organised to provide a detailed look at the company’s internal operations and to underline the importance of aluminium recycling in the context of sustainability and the circular economy.
Direct observation of recycling processes is essential for students, specialists in training and business partners, offering them a detailed perspective on the operations and technologies used.
As Metal uses state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the efficiency and quality of its recycling processes and works closely with partners from various industries to promote the use of recycled aluminium. Direct observation of the processes of collection, sorting, shredding, melting and casting allows participants to understand the complexity and efficiency of the operations.
For students, this practical experience is essential to their professional development, giving them an in-depth understanding of the industry and its challenges. For business partners, the visit offers the opportunity to assess the capabilities and technologies used by recyclers, facilitating the development of strategic partnerships and effective collaboration.
The event also included a presentation of the company’s commitment to transparency and sustainability. Since 2022, As Metal has been preparing a sustainability report to document and communicate its sustainability efforts. This report provides an overview of the company’s performance in terms of the economic, social and environmental impact of its operations.
Founded more than three decades ago, As Metal has established itself as a leader in the aluminium recycling industry thanks to its advanced technologies and firm commitment to sustainable practices. Aluminium recycling is a pillar of sustainability, contributing to significant energy and resource savings while reducing environmental impact.
