RESTORE is the average aluminium billet produced by Hydro Aluminium UK Ltd in Tibshelf. The aluminium billets are intermediate products which feed other processing steps for the production of other products, mainly profiles for the building sector. Aluminium scrap and primary ingots are melted, with the eventual addition of alloying elements, and billets produced through a casting process. The production process, represented in Figure 1, includes the remelting of aluminium scrap and primary ingots and the following casting process. During the process, impurities are removed, and alloys are added, if needed, to adjust the chemical composition and to reach the quality standard. Casted billets are bound together by means of plastic straps and wood bars and are stored to be sold externally or to be used internally as input in the extrusion process (profiles production). The reference CPC code is 415 Semi-finished products of copper, nickel, aluminium, lead, zinc and tin or their alloys.
