Stena Recycling and Hydro collaborates to produce low carbon aluminium from post-consumer scrap

From end-of-life to new applications

The process begins with end-of-life vehicles and other complex material streams containing valuable aluminium. Stena Recycling collects, fragments and refines these materials across the Nordics, before the recovered aluminium is further processed and prepared at SNRC. It is then remelted and transformed into new aluminium at Hydro’s Høyanger plant, ready to be used in new applications.

This end-to-end collaboration connects collection, processing and aluminium production, making circular material flows possible at scale. By bringing together local expertise, industrial capabilities and partners across the value chain, valuable materials can remain in use for longer.

“Our collaboration with Hydro is a perfect example of how we can work together across the value chain to produce low carbon aluminium at scale from post-consumer scrap recovered from end of life products.”
