Driving sustainable aluminium
The SALEMA project has combined the strategies of decreasing the use of critical raw materials and creating a sustainable economy in the aluminium manufacturing industry of Europe. The electric automotive sector needs high-performance, sustainable aluminium sources, which is only possible by generating a new aluminium ecosystem.
Circular economy model
16 Partners from six countries united to create brand new, sustainable and high-performance aluminium alloys, and demonstrate their suitability in automotive applications.
SALEMA developed and put into practice a circular economy model that integrates scrap aluminium materials into the process of manufacturing aluminium car parts. This circular economy will lead to a more sustainable industry and less dependence on imports from outside the EU.
Solutions developed in the project
SALEMA is demonstrating the new circular economy model on 5 car parts in 4 pilots in Europe.

Another outside view of SALEMAβfrom Prof. Geoff Scamans of @InnovalBanbury & @Bruneluni. With much experience in ...#Automotive & materials, he chaired our final event session on #aluminium #recycling.
So what does he think of SALEMA?π€
