Closed-Loop: Sustainable together.

Published on: 11. June 2024

What began in 2018 as a classic customer-supplier relationship, apt and Alu-met have now optimized it with a closed-loop agreement.

Together with our bolt supplier Alu-met and the advice of Metals CS® we have optimized our value chain. The result: a closed cycle for our process scrap.

Alu-met processes the scrap that apt cannot recycle in its in-house remelting plant due to special alloys and supplies press-ready aluminum billets.

“Thanks to this agreement, apt and Alu-met are both logistically efficient and sustainable – a win-win solution for both companies!” Says Dr. Gerhard Anger, Managing Director of Alu-met. Volker Bartmann from Metals CS® is also delighted with the closed-loop agreement.

We are delighted to have taken another big step towards climate neutrality!

Many thanks to our partners.
