Low Carbon Aluminium. No Compromise.
Shaping a Sustainable
Future
From January 2026, all Aluminium Shapes extrusions will be produced using Hydro’s LCR4 low-carbon billet — our new material standard, Ali4.
This is a major step forward in sustainable aluminium — and a smart move for manufacturers preparing for the future.
Why switch to Ali4?
Ali4 delivers dramatic carbon reduction without changing performance, pricing stability, or lead times.
- Maximum 4.0kg CO₂e per kg of aluminium (Global avg: 14.8kg | China: 19kg | Europe: 6.3kg)
- Sustainably sourced from Hydro’s Wrexham facility
- Certified and fully traceable (EPDs available)
- Circular composition: 30% prime, 30% process scrap, 40% post-consumer scrap
Same reliability. But low carbon.
A Clear Commercial Advantage
We’re seeing our customers choose Ali4 so that they can:
- Win tenders where carbon matters
- Strengthen their ESG and sustainability reporting
- Reduce embodied carbon in their finished products
- Stay ahead of regulations and their customer expectations
- Differentiate themselves from higher-carbon competitors
If sustainability is part of your value proposition, Ali4 will help you prove it.
Why switch to Ali4?
From January 2026, every extrusion we produce meets the Ali4 standard — giving you consistency, confidence, and a future-ready supply partner.
