Becker Aluminum-Service GmbH is advancing sustainability in aluminum recycling by launching two innovative services: the Upcycling Marketplace and LOOP Back Service, which will be presented at the ALUMINIUM Düsseldorf trade show from October 8-10, 2024.

As a subsidiary of Klöckner & Co SE, Becker Aluminum is a leader in metal product distribution and is addressing the environmental challenges of aluminum production. The company is launching these two initiatives to fill a gap in aluminum recycling processes:

Upcycling Marketplace: Developed with RESOUREX®, this digital marketplace enables the buying and selling of aluminum scrap in real-time. It provides a more efficient, cost-effective way for industries like automotive and construction to repurpose aluminum products, thereby reducing waste and CO2 emissions. This platform allows customers to achieve higher selling prices for scrap and purchase aluminum products at lower costs.

LOOP Back Service: This service turns conventional aluminum scrap into high-quality, ‘ready to cast’ material, helping customers increase their recycling content. Aimed at companies producing up to 100 tons of scrap annually, LOOP Back enables direct recycling with foundries, offering economic and environmental benefits, while supporting clients in reducing carbon emissions.

These solutions align with the global sustainability goals of the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI), which recently accepted Becker Aluminum as a full member.

Becker’s innovations highlight its commitment to sustainability and industry leadership in aluminum recycling, setting new standards for environmental responsibility.

Subsidiary of Klöckner & Co SE, Becker Aluminum-Service GmbH is a key player in the flat steel sector and a pioneer in sustainable practices, offering a wide range of top-quality metal products. RESOUREX® is Europe’s first online trading platform for metals, providing real-time digital transactions and AI-powered market insights to enhance trading efficiency.
