4. Recycling is already taking place
In 2011, 77% of the aerospace aluminium alloys produced by
Constellium were recycled products.

5. 1- Aluminium is recycled
Why?
It is industrially
It’s part of its DNA possible on a large
scale
Issoire - 29 mars 2012
6. Aluminium is naturally recyclable
Just like gold, platinum
and silver…
Aluminium retains its
properties even when
recycled
100% recyclable
Endlessly recyclable
Issoire - 29 mars 2012
7. Aluminium is recycled because it is technically
possible on a large scale
Issoire - 29 mars 2012
8. 2- Aluminium is recycled
Why?
How?
It is the responsible It is economically It is operationally
thing to do viable possible
Issoire - 29 mars 2012
9. Aluminium is recycled because it is the
responsible thing to do
Every ton of recycled aluminium saves 4 tons of bauxite.
It takes 20 times less energy to produce recycled aluminium than
to manufacture new aluminium.
Every kg of recycled aluminium cuts 11.4kg of CO2 emissions.

10. Aluminium is recycled because it is
economically viable
Optimized alloy
Lower energy costs requirements

22. Aluminium recycling and its benefits for the
aerospace industry – 6 key messages
Aluminium is 100% recyclable – endlessly recyclable
In 2011, 77% of the aluminium alloys manufactured by
Constellium for the aerospace industry were made from recycled
products. The objective is for 80% of products to be recycled.
A responsible approach
Of Economic value
An operational industry
A process at the heart of innovation
