The RecAL project (short for Recycling technologies for circular Aluminium), takes a comprehensive approach to harnessing this valuable secondary resource.
It strategically addresses every stage of circular production and tackles challenges across the entire value chain.
With a commitment to innovation, RecAL will advance 14 Circular Amplification Technologies (aka CATs) up to Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL6) and integrate them into a digital, socio-technical ecosystem known as the aluminium hub for circularity.
This interactive platform will foster direct collaboration among stakeholders along the value chain, promoting full-scale industrial and technological symbiosis while closing energy, resource, and data loops at both regional and European scales.
EARPA members which are involved in the project includes AIT, CEIT, CERTH, DLR, Fraunhofer, KU Leuven, LEITAT and UNIMORE.
