Norwegian aluminum producer Norsk Hydro made the first delivery of aluminum profiles made with 100% recycled post-consumer aluminum to the Innovationsbogen project in Augsburg, Germany.

This batch of aluminum profiles, called Hydro CIRCAL 100R, can reduce CO2 emissions by 527 tons, further contributing to the decarbonization of the European construction industry.

Through its building system brand WICONA, Hydro becomes the first aluminum producer in the world to deliver near-zero-emission aluminum to a building project in Europe. Near-zero aluminum is defined as aluminum with a footprint below 0.5kg CO2e/kg aluminum throughout the value chain.
