Hydro invested NOK 180 million ($16 million) in a new scrap sorting facility in Wrexham, UK, boosting low-carbon aluminium capabilities. The facility will sort over 30,000 tonnes (t) of aluminium scrap annually, enough for 100,000 electric vehicles. With HySort technology, sorting accuracy improves, meeting growing demand in automotive and construction. Construction is slated to start in autumn 2024; and it would be operational by January, 2026.
