Recycling aluminum requires 95 percent less energy than producing new aluminum.

As leaders in the aluminum recycling industry, we are committed to sustainable practices that improve lives and support future generations. We are passionate about giving aluminum new life through its endless recyclability, creating more sustainable products, minimizing waste, and actively reducing energy consumption and our carbon footprint.

We follow a rigorous set of standards to reduce our energy usage and minimize environmental impact, including following strict air emission limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), and obtaining certifications in quality and environmental management. 

Our dedication to sustainable innovation translates into practical energy solutions, including significant investments in renewable resources. Our distribution warehouse features 212 solar panels, producing 112kW of power that reduces our operational energy consumption and furthers our commitment to sustainability.

The EGA Spectro Alloys team leads by example, proving that environmental responsibility and industry leadership go hand in hand.
