China Hongqiao wins Circular Economy Leadership Award

China Hongqiao Group Limited has received the Circular Economy Leadership Award at the 2026 Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards in Singapore. This marks the third consecutive year the aluminum enterprise has earned this recognition from Enterprise Asia for its contributions to recycled aluminum development.

The company is pursuing a “25·55” Climate Action Target, aiming for carbon neutrality across its operations by 2055 in alignment with China’s dual carbon goals. To achieve this, China Hongqiao has implemented a closed-loop industrial chain that includes mining, alumina refining, primary aluminum production, and recycled aluminum.

By expanding its recycled aluminum business, the company aims to reduce reliance on raw material extraction. Data indicates that recycled aluminum can reduce energy consumption by nearly 95% and decrease greenhouse gas emissions by over 85% compared to conventional electrolytic aluminum production.
