Material recovery
Track input aluminium, recovered metal, dross and other losses by batch and feedstock family.
Sustainability
Environmental credibility starts with measurement.
Recycling aluminium can deliver a major energy advantage, but a serious green project must go further: quantify material recovery, process energy, losses, waste streams and improvement over time.
Explore funding alignmentOur sustainability position
No green claims without an operating baseline.
The project is aligned with circular-economy logic because its core activity is recovering aluminium already in circulation. Site-level impact, however, should be demonstrated through evidence rather than assumed from the sector alone.
Industry sources state that aluminium recycling can use only around 5% of the energy required for primary metal production. That is a powerful reason to expand recycling capacity, but it does not replace facility-specific measurement.
Alvion Chem therefore intends to build its environmental reporting around material balance, energy intensity, yield, dross and waste management, traceability and improvement projects.
Operating principle
Measure first. Improve continuously. Report clearly.
Material balance, energy intensity, residue management and traceability should form the evidence base for credible environmental reporting.
Environmental framework
Six areas that turn circularity into an operating system.
These are the core indicators and management themes we intend to develop as production is commissioned and stabilised.
Energy intensity
Measure energy consumed per tonne of saleable output and identify efficiency projects after a baseline is established.
Process stability
Reduce avoidable variation through maintenance, operating procedures and controlled furnace campaigns.
Waste & residues
Classify, store and manage process residues responsibly, prioritising recovery routes where technically and legally appropriate.
Traceability
Strengthen supplier, material, batch and shipment records to support customer and future ESG requirements.
Improvement roadmap
Evaluate renewable energy integration, efficient equipment, sorting upgrades and digital material tracking as the project matures.
Impact dashboard
The KPIs we intend to publish as verified data becomes available.
This structure is designed to make the project easier to evaluate for customers, investors, development-finance institutions and grant programmes.
Recovery yield
% saleable metal / input
Energy intensity
kWh or fuel-equivalent / tonne
Recycled input

Safety performance
recordable indicators and actions
Traceable batches
% with complete material records
These indicators are a reporting roadmap. They are not presented as current audited performance.
European circularity
A material that can stay in use again and again.
European Aluminium identifies recycling as a strategic pillar of Europe’s circular economy and reports that recycled aluminium already supplies a substantial share of internal European demand.
This creates a long-term case for investment in collection, sorting, processing, traceability and high-quality secondary aluminium capacity. The opportunity for the Western Balkans is to participate in that value chain with credible, measurable industrial projects.
