Real Alloy

Real Alloy is an aluminum recycling and remelting business founded in 2015 and headquartered in Ohio. The company converts aluminum scrap and by-products, including dross, into reusable aluminum metal for customers in automotive, packaging, manufacturing, construction and other industrial sectors. Its operations span 16 production sites across the United States, Canada and Mexico, employing approximately 1,200 people in North America.

Work at the company centres on the industrial processing of varied feedstocks: scrap is received, processed in furnaces, alloyed to specification and delivered. Real Alloy manages the full cycle from scrap receiving through processing, alloy production, logistics and final delivery. Technical domains include aluminum recycling and remelting, metallurgy and alloy production, furnace processing, by-product recovery and waste reduction, low-carbon manufacturing, and supply chain logistics and delivery optimisation. Participating plants have supplied aluminum solutions since the 1950s.

The product line comprises specification alloys, recycled secondary ingot (RSI), deoxidizers, briquettes, molten metal, and cone and shot formats. Customers select the delivery format and specify timing, method and location. The company describes its culture in terms of full-cycle responsibility, measurable environmental performance and waste reduction: remelting aluminum consumes about 5% of the energy required to produce it from raw materials, and a one-percentage-point increase in recycling rates can reduce the overall product footprint by approximately 8% in embodied CO2 emissions.
