RecAL Project Shines at Global Conferences: Bridging Innovation and Industry
The RecAL Project recently showcased its pioneering work in manufacturing optimization and sustainable materials innovation at three major international conferences. From aluminium recycling breakthroughs in London to collaborative industrial tech solutions in Kraków, these engagements underscored RecAL’s role as a leader in bridging academic research with real-world industrial applications.
Aluminium Scrap in the EV Era: RecAL’s Solution for Sustainable Recycling
EVs need aluminum with high conductivity (1xxx), for which there is currently no secondary market. Besides, the biggest shift will be in the aluminum recycling cycle itself. With the combustion-engines ban, the established “sink” for low-quality aluminum scrap based on the A226 alloy will disappear, leaving a large part of this waste stream without a final destination.
Driving Circular Innovation: RecAL Consortium Meets in Thessaloniki
