General comment
The recycled aluminum ingots, derived from scrap aluminum, are intended for use in applications where primary aluminum would traditionally be used. Examples include construction materials, automotive parts, electronics, packaging, and household items. This recycled material contributes to sustainability in manufacturing processes by reducing the demand for virgin aluminum, which involves high energy consumption and associated emissions during production.
