Aluminium is one of the greenest materials around. It’s infinitely recyclable with no loss of quality; in fact, almost 75% of all the aluminium ever produced is still in use today. Recycled aluminium is much greener than producing new primary aluminium too – it uses 95% less energy and produces up to 97% fewer emissions – and it becomes even greener if the aluminium scrap is sourced and recycled in the UK. At Tandom, almost all of our aluminium is UK-sourced and produced, with the aim to be100%. And using such a sustainable material with so few production miles can help any business achieve its sustainability targets much more easily.
That’s why we introduced our LOCAL – Low Carbon Aluminium– logo stamped on our aluminium. It tells you that it’s been sourced and recycled in the UK, and is a sign not only of our sustainability but of our commitment to helping your business be more sustainable too. And it means you’ll be helping to create a self-sufficient aluminium recycling eco-system for a better future for everyone.
Whether it’s producing new ingots for manufacturing or recycling your scrap or surplus, we specialise in the buying, selling, and recycling of a wide range of metals – in particular aluminium and alloys.
For us, it’s crucial that we all work together to create a more sustainable future that benefits us all. And central to that is closed loop recycling.
By recycling your metal, closed loop effectively has no environmental impact and stops resources going to landfill. And it helps you both reduce costs and meet sustainability commitments.

*Compared with producing new aluminium
Recycling 1 tonnes of aluminum saves 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions and 4 tonnes of bauxite raw material
Working closely with our customers, we’ll find new ways to meet different challenges across all sectors of our business.
With metal so widely used in the transport industry, it’s vital to maximise the value of any scrap – which means having the right recycling partner. At Tandom, we have the expertise and knowledge to handle a wide range of metals, including R&D materials.
We specialise in handling off-cuts from the manufacturing process including aluminium sheeting and swarf, steel, stainless steel and copper; we can also recycle parts such as batteries, mixed alloys, exhausts offcuts in stainless Inconel and titanium, catalytic converters and wiring looms.
We handle not only materials left over from construction but also those produced during demolition, which often include a mix of valuable metals including copper, steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Recycling makes great financial sense – even more so if the scrap is separated so it attracts a higher price – and with Tandom, it’s easy and efficient.
At Tandom, we’ve been working with engineering companies, manufacturers, fabricators and stockists for over 14 years to recycle their scrap metals. We’re fully licensed, have all the knowledge and expertise you need and offer a seamless process from assessment to collection, grading, weighing and invoice, providing a complete audit trail throughout.
From drinks cans to food containers, aerosols and tubes, aluminium is widely used in all sorts of packaging. And with our combination of shredders, separation equipment and furnaces, we’re well-equipped to handle the complexities of such products.
