Constellium SE, which is headquartered in Paris, has announced that its facility in Neuf-Brisach, France, has been certified according to the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative’s (ASI’s) Performance and Chain of Custody Standards. These certifications covers the plant’s recycling, casting, rolling and finishing operations.
Constellium says its Neuf-Brisach facility now can provide responsibly sourced, independently certified solutions using the plant’s end-of-life recycling capacity and its ASI certified supply chain in addition to offering certified and sustainably manufactured aluminum rolled products to its customers.
“Our customers and society demand sustainable and environmentally friendly products manufactured responsibly, and our recycling capacity coupled with this certification is a step further to respond to their demand,” says Peter Basten, president of the Packaging and Rolled Automotive Products business unit at Constellium. “This certification, combined with our ambitious sustainability strategy, demonstrates our commitment to building a circular economy and to improving the overall footprint of the aluminum life cycle.”
Fiona Solomon, chief executive officer at ASI, says, “This plant’s feedstocks of recycled aluminum scrap make it a key starting point for downstream customers that wish to source aluminum with a reduced CO2 footprint. The ASI certifications provide the assurance that their customers are sourcing an aluminum product that is produced responsibly and can help extend the sustainability credentials of their customers’ products as well.”
Neuf-Brisach is one of Constellium’s largest sites with an annual production capacity of approximately 450,000 metric tons. It primarily serves packaging and automotive customers in Europe. The facility has five recycling furnaces that can recycle up to 150,000 metric tons per year.
