Beschreibung

First European facility for recycling aviation-grade titanium

Ziele

The project comprises the first European industrial plant to recycle and re-melt aviation-grade scrap titanium metal and titanium alloys. All aviation-grade European titanium scrap currently has to be exported, mainly to the United States, as no such facility exists in Europe. The project would therefore close the recycling loop, making use of valuable metal scraps from European manufacturing sources which are currently lost for the European market, and thereby help to establish a circular economy for titanium metal and alloys in Europe.
