REAL Alloy’s aluminium scrap conversion facilities into wrought & foundry alloys get ASI CoC Standard certification

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has recognised REAL Alloy with the Chain of Custody Standard V1 (2017) certification for aluminium scrap recycling and wrought and foundry alloys production at Grevenbroich and Deizisau plants in Germany, and also for central strategic, administrative, and service functions at headquarter in Grevenbroich.

REAL Alloy facilities produce alloys to customers’ specifications by recycling aluminium scrap. The products are delivered in solid or molten state to customers’ foundries for the use in variety of industries like the automotive and packaging sectors.

The ASI Chain of Custody Standard certification sets out pre-requisite criteria for the creation of a Chain of Custody for materials produced and processed through the value chain into diverse downstream sectors.

Russell Barr, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Europe, said: “Following our initial certification against the Performance Standard last year we are very proud of having completed our next steps on our ASI journey, with the inclusion of our Grevenbroich plant in the Performance Standard (PS) certificate and with the successful initial certification against the Chain of Custody Standard for all our PS certified scope, now including our Grevenbroich plant, our Deizisau plant and our European HQ. Recycling is of immense importance for the sustainability of the whole aluminium value chain. Circular economy and low carbon footprint both depend on recycling. Making recycling more sustainable also beyond the environmental dimension is where we see much of the value of being an ASI member. We are now looking forward to supplying our customers with ASI Certified recycled aluminium!”

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We congratulate REAL ALLOY on achieving ASI CoC Certification for its HQ and recycling facilities at Grevenbroich and Deizisau. Aluminium recycling makes a critically important contribution to circular supply chains. The ASI CoC Standard requires due diligence on recyclable scrap to support responsible sourcing beyond just closing loops. ASI CoC Certification gives REAL ALLOY’s customers assurance that it has appropriate processes in place to address a range of supply chain risks.”

The independent, third-party audit of the REAL ALLOY operations and headquarters was carried out by TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH.
