The Alcoa Australia Rolled Products plant at Yennora is home to the largest aluminium recycling facility in Australia. This facility recycles around 70,000 tonnes of scrap aluminium per year including over half a billion cans.
Aluminium is 100 per cent recyclable with no loss of quality, and the recycling process uses only 5 per cent of the energy needed to make new metal from scratch providing significant greenhouse benefits and diverting waste from landfill.
Aluminium is endlessly recyclable, and it is estimated that nearly three-quarters of all aluminium ever made since 1886 remains in use today.
Through the commitment of its people, use of technology, monitoring programs and projects such as waste minimisation, cleaner production and water conservation initiatives, Alcoa Yennora is committed to environmental sustainability.
We are proud of our seven year partnership with Keep Australia Beautiful and commend them for the valuable contribution they make to supporting and acknowledging community efforts to improve local environments.
