Aluminiumpodden #18 – from innovative charging poles and effective acoustics to Hydro CIRCAL 100R

In this episode of Aluminiumpodden, Ulrika and Ruth explore exciting advancements in the world of sustainable manufacturing and design with aluminium. The spotlight is first on Q-Light and their sub-brand ONEPOLE, both known for their cutting-edge products that emphasize sustainability and innovation. Episode 18 also highlights Hydro CIRCAL 100R, the first aluminium product ever made entirely from post-consumer scrap. This ground-breaking achievement marks a significant leap in sustainability, as Hydro CIRCAL 100R is also the first product of its kind to be mass-produced on an industrial scale, setting new standards in the world of aluminium. The discussion then shifts to AKUART, a Danish company specialising in highly effective acoustic solutions. Some of AKUART’s products are made from recycled aluminium from Hydro, showcasing their commitment to sustainable materials. Ulrika and Ruth also provide an update on Hydro Partner Packages, designed to facilitate collaborations that drive sustainability initiatives. Additionally, they share the latest developments in the energy project Greener Sweden – an ambitious effort to push the boundaries of green practices within the industry. As always, this episode concludes with a new tricky aluminium riddle. –– Aluminiumpodden is an official Hydro Extrusions podcast about the many benefits of aluminium.
