in addition, Derichebourg Environnement has equipped its main p shredders with an induction separator and has two flotation units in Europe for the separation of aluminum from other heavy metals (copper, bronze, etc.). Dense aluminum (twitch) is made into ingots at the Refinal Industries Lille site. These ingots (AS9U3 quality) are sold mainly to automotive parts foundries. The Group’s refinery produces 66,000 tons of secondary aluminum ingots. The Group has invested in a second refinery (rotary kiln) in Prémery (Nièvre), which will eventually produce 15,000 tons of ingots per year (11,000 tons in 2019); the Inorec subsidiary prepares mixes of the various metals used in p the composition of stainless steels, in accordance with customer specifications, so that they can be directly blasted; the Group prepares copper granulate from copper cables (about p 3,000 t/year). During the 2018/2019 fiscal year, the Group processed 535,100 tons of non-ferrous metals, a slight decrease compared to the previous year (-1%).

The Group’s Shredding business generates shredding residues (a mixture of foam, plastic, glass, wood, etc.) that cannot be marketed as such. The Group is conducting several development actions to constantly improve recovery rates (energy or material) and limit volumes sent to landfill, which amounted to approximately 165,000 tons in 2019 (France scope).
