The combination of these offerings is designed to position PyroGenesis Aluminum as a one-stop shop for zero discharge/reduced carbon service solutions serving the aluminum industry.
“Following our successful Joint Venture agreement with a leading waste processor to transform aluminum dross waste into high value chemicals, and the recent success of our as yet unannounced upstream applications, we decided to form a division specifically dedicated to the aluminum industry,” details Peter Pascali, CEO and President of PyroGenesis. “PyroGenesis-Aluminum is positioned to offer a comprehensive portfolio of products and services that drive GHG emissions reductions.
emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as the reuse of toxic waste streams from landfills into valuable products, for the aluminium industry. As such we believe PyroGenesis is well positioned to address many of the key environmental challenges facing the industry.”
“Because of its strength, durability and lightweight characteristics, aluminum products are marketed as an environmentally friendly material,” said David D’Aoust, director of Drosrite™ Sales for PyroGenesis. “These qualities have led aluminium to become a key material in the decarbonisation of the transport industry by enabling electrification,” he adds.
“In addition, aluminum is infinitely recyclable, making it an excellent candidate to replace plastics in consumer packaged goods. However, two key drawbacks are that current production processes generate a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. We believe these drawbacks can be solved with our unique offering and PyroGenesis can make a significant contribution and make aluminum the true green material of the future,” he concludes.
