Constellium is partnering with Tesem, a global leader in luxury packaging, to advance sustainable aluminum production through an initiative called “Closing the Loop.” This collaboration underscores Constellium’s dedication to reducing environmental impact and promoting circular economy practices.

Through this partnership, Constellium will work closely with Tesem to create a closed-loop system that enables the recycling of high-purity aluminum. Tesem has invested in enhancing their assets to ensure the efficient cleaning and preparation of aluminum scrap.

Both companies’ R&D teams have collaborated to ensure the scrap meets the stringent quality standards required and to adjust casting parameters to integrate higher levels of recycled material.

This approach will allow Constellium to supply Tesem with aluminum coils that have a significantly reduced carbon footprint, as recycling aluminum emits 95% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than producing primary metal.

Constellium is supplying Tesem with highly specialized aluminum surfaces from its rolling mill in Singen, Germany.
