In Coventry, UK, Sarginsons, an aluminium foundry, has been awarded a £6 million grant aimed at enhancing its operations. The funding will be utilized to hire additional staff, acquire new equipment, and improve the recycling network. This initiative is part of a collaborative research program with partners, including Aston Martin, focusing on the development of lighter vehicle components. The project emphasizes the use of 100% recycled aluminium in vehicle production, which is expected to contribute to sustainability and cost reduction.
