All automakers are facing the challenge of reducing their CO2-emissions and improving their sustainability. An important building block of their strategy is weight reduction by using more lightweight materials, such as aluminum. However, the high amounts of aluminum used lead to challenges such as sludge, that need innovative process solutions.

The amount of aluminum used in automotive production is steadily increasing, as automakers and auto suppliers are reducing  the weight of cars in order to meet the latest legislations on fuel consumption.
