Silverton doesn't mine aluminium — we recycle it. Every ingot we cast starts as scrap: aluminium that's already been used once, in a fan, a car part, an appliance, coming back to us to be melted, filtered, and cast again into an ingot that becomes the next fan or the next car part. That loop is the business.
Silverton Metals circular aluminium recycling process — scrap to ingot to product and back to scrap
Five stages, grouped by what they achieve environmentally — the technical version of the loop shown above.
Every ingot starts as scrap that already existed.
The single biggest lever in our environmental footprint.
Most recyclers treat dross as waste. We recover metal from it.
Catching errors in-process avoids scrap-worthy failures later.
This is the sentence that actually explains "circular economy".
We run free medical camps for the communities around our plants, and support Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan cleanliness initiatives locally. Recycling metal and looking after the neighbourhoods around our plants come from the same instinct.
