Total recovery.
Zero landfill.
Our proprietary zero-landfill process converts aluminum dross into salt cake, which is valorized to produce useful material. The result: better aluminum recovery for our customers as well as minerals and oxides that can be re-used and upcycled.
Everything produced by our facility is useful, turning manufacturing byproducts into valuable material, cost into economic gain, and liability into sustainability leadership. 0% waste, 100% benefit.
Inputs
Salt cake converted from dross
This byproduct of aluminum production is our primary input and delivers the greatest economic and environmental benefit. The salt cake contains valuable metal, salts, and minerals that can be recovered, reused and upcycled.
Aluminum shavings, turnings, and chips
Generated during machining, milling, and fabrication, aluminum shavings, turnings, and chips are often seen as low-value scrap. Our process efficiently handles this material—even difficult-to-recycle painted, anodized and oily metal.
Outputs
Aluminum
The last—and typically lost—high-value aluminum locked away in salt cake is the principal output of our process, which preserves its strength, integrity, and circular potential.
Salt flux and oxides
What remains when metal has been extracted has value of its own, and can be used for a variety of purposes. Salt flux is useful in aluminum production and will circle back to our aluminum cast house for reuse, while oxides can be sold to cement producers or used in other industries as a valuable input.
Hydrogen and biogas
These gases are byproducts of our process. The hydrogen is captured and used in a fuel cell that provides part of the electricity for our plant, while the biogas—produced during the final stage of non-metallic oxide processing—is fed into a boiler that produces heat for our kiln dryers.
