Aluminum recycling conserves up to 95% of the energy required for primary production, but turning that potential into reality across various wrought-alloy products is more complex than it might appear. In this webinar, Rob Sanders draws on decades of industry experience to examine the metallurgical, economic, and regulatory hurdles that shape how much recycled content can realistically be used in aluminum sheet, packaging, automotive parts, and building materials. From the successful closed-loop recycling of beverage cans to the persistent obstacles posed by outdated alloy standards, Dr. Sanders offers a practical, expert perspective on the current state of the aluminum industry—and what it will take to move forward. Whether you are involved in alloy development, manufacturing, sustainability, or materials procurement, this webinar offers valuable insights into one of the most urgent challenges in sustainable metals processing.
