Global manufacturer Constellium has announced a partnership with Tesem, a world leader in luxury packaging, to promote the sustainable production of aluminum through an initiative called “Close the loop.” This collaboration underscores Constellium’s commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting circular economy practices.
Through this partnership, Constellium will work closely with Tesem to create a closed-loop system for recycling high-purity aluminum. Tesem has invested in upgrading its assets to ensure efficient cleaning and preparation of aluminum waste. The R&D teams of both companies have collaborated to ensure that the scrap meets the strict quality standards required and to adjust the melting parameters, enabling the integration of higher levels of recycled material.
This innovative approach will enable Constellium to supply Tesem with aluminum coil with a significantly reduced carbon footprint, as aluminum recycling emits 95% less greenhouse gases compared to primary metal production.
“We are excited to partner with Tesem on this important initiative”said Patrick Broom, Constellium’s director of specialty sales and marketing. “The ‘Closing the Loop’ project is an excellent example of how strategic collaboration can drive innovation and sustainability in the luxury cosmetics packaging market.”
“We are proud to work with Constellium to create a sustainable future through this closed-loop recycling system.” commented Guillem Serrat, CEO of Tesem. “This partnership not only supports our environmental goals, but also reinforces the quality and sustainability of our products.”
Constellium is supplying Tesem with highly specialized aluminum surfaces from its rolling mill in Singen, Germany.
