Re-turning scrap
into OEM-grade
Aluminium

We buy, sort and process aluminium scrap into certified ingots, billets and profiles, ready for automotive, extrusion and packaging use.

Overview

Aluminium is one of the most versatile and widely used non-ferrous metals, valued for its lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent formability. Its presence spans across automotive, construction, packaging, and electrical industries, making it a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. With rising demand for sustainable materials, recycling aluminium has become crucial, preserving its inherent quality while saving up to 95% of the energy required for primary production. Advancing aluminium recycling not only reduces carbon emissions but also supports India’s circular economy and industrial self-reliance.

Why is it Important?

Recycling aluminium delivers substantial environmental and economic advantages. It requires up to 95% less energy than producing primary aluminium and drastically cuts greenhouse gas emissions. Because aluminium can be recycled infinitely without losing its properties, it remains one of the most sustainable industrial metals. Recycling reduces the need for bauxite mining, conserves natural resources, and minimizes landfill waste while lowering production costs for manufacturers.

Metalbook strengthens this circular ecosystem by linking scrap suppliers, recyclers, and OEMs on a single digital platform, ensuring traceable, high-quality recycled aluminium supply that supports India’s growing automotive, packaging, and infrastructure sectors.

Recycling aluminium consumes up to 95% less energy than primary production, drastically cutting emissions and conserving electricity across the value chain.

Aluminium never loses its properties, meaning three-quarters of all aluminium ever made is still in circulation, a perfect example of a cradle-to-cradle metal.

Producing secondary aluminium from scrap reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 90%, contributing directly to global climate goals and cleaner manufacturing.

Recycling reduces dependence on bauxite mining, protects ecosystems, and keeps aluminium waste out of landfills, strengthening circular economy practices.

Frequently asked questions

Almost all aluminium scrap can be recycled, including extrusions, castings, UBC (used beverage cans), sheets & foils, engine parts, wheels, turnings/borings, and building materials. Both pre-consumer and post-consumer scrap streams are accepted, as aluminium retains its properties indefinitely.

Yes. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without any loss in metallurgical properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, or formability. Secondary aluminium can meet the same specifications as primary metal when properly sorted, de-coated, alloyed, and refined.

Metalbook works with verified suppliers and recyclers, uses grade-wise segregation, and ensures traceability from scrap collection to final aluminium products. Quality checks, documentation, and compliance with industry standards (IAI, BIS) ensure consistent, certified output.

Recycled aluminium is typically cast into ingots, billets, slabs, coils, foils, and casting alloys. These feed into rolling mills, extrusion plants, and foundries to produce components for automotive, packaging, construction, consumer goods, and electrical industries.

Recycling aluminium uses up to 95% less energy, reduces CO₂ emissions by more than 90%, and keeps valuable material in circulation. Since aluminium can be reused endlessly, it is a key driver of circular manufacturing and low-carbon production globally.
