Business Value
ALUMINIUM RECYCLING - Creating a closed loop
Enables lightweight automotive body
structures to be built using aluminium
sheet derived from low cost, energy
efficient, recycled sources.
Increasing the recycled content 25% saves circa
1 Tonne of CO2per car (based on a Jaguar XJ study)
CO2
£xx millionadditional revenue£
Producing recycled aluminium is
95% less energy intensive than primary

Supplier StrategyPress Shop StrategyMaterials Innovation
• Closed loop of press shop
scrap for re-melting into
new sheet
• Separation between 5xxx &
6xxx alloys and steel in
mixed metal press shops
• JLR UK Press Shop
investment in excess of £6
millionNew chemistry assessments
Evaluation of waste streams
Major testing programme
Novelis Latchford automotive

Materials InnovationREALCAR
• Scrap tolerant chemistry
developed (RC5754) up to
50% scrap from in-house
processes
• Default grade on all JLR
Future vehicles, replacing
NG5754
• Plan in development to
retrospectively introduce
RC5754 on current
vehicles

D&T Schools Competition
2015/16 Aluminium D&T Challenge:
• Aim is to inspire students to get creative and design a product for the future,
using aluminium
• Develops understanding of Design, Materials and Sustainability
• Supports the D&T curriculum for 11-14 year olds throughout the UK
• Real-life briefs faced by designers, engineers and manufacturers in three
categories - transport, building and packaging
