Sustainability

We believe that Aleris, and aluminum, play an important role in advancing the sustainability of the metals sector and improving the sustainability performance of the customers we serve. For many years, we have worked to reduce our operational footprint, while increasing use of recycled content in our products. In 2014, we further evolved our program, by taking the next step in producing our first sustainability report. 

Aluminum

We believe that aluminum has unlimited potential.  It is a widely-used, attractive industrial material, and compared to several alternative metals such as steel and copper, aluminum is lightweight, has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is resistant to corrosion.  Aluminum can be recycled repeatedly without any material decline in performance or quality. The recycling of aluminum delivers energy and capital investment savings relative to both the cost of producing primary aluminum and many other competing materials.
