Announced details
Automotive body-panel materials, construction materials, sash materials, electrical and electronic equipment materials, and general-purpose materials
The wrought-product recovery rate is targeted at 80% or more by FY2028. By FY2040, the project is expected to reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 2.5 million tonnes. Aluminum recycling can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 97%.
Participant in the research and development conducted through industry-government-academia collaboration under this project. UACJ is responsible for alloy composition calculations, equipment development, evaluation of recycled ingots and assessment of molten-metal quality as a rolled-products manufacturer.
