Braidy Atlas announces sustainability collaboration with BMW

Braidy Atlas has announced the creation of a milestone plan for cooperation with the BMW Group on sustainability and technical/qualification for the future supply of series 5000X and 6000X automotive aluminum sheet. It includes a comprehensive, closed-loop recycling strategy leveraging Braidy Atlas’ Ashland, Ky., location’s proximity to BMW´s car production plant in Spartanburg, S.C.

The aluminum provider recently announced its intention to become the first North American rolling mill to use 100 percent green inputs from inception. As the first U.S. rolling mill to obtain a low-emissions air permit from the Federal EPA, Braidy reports it has targeted 20 percent lower emissions than competitors.
