Family-run firms establish eco-friendly aluminum foundry in Vendée, spotlight on carbon-reducing production process
In the picturesque town of Sainte-Hermine, Vendée, a new addition to France's aluminum recycling facilities has emerged. Conceived in 2021, the Coralium plant stands as a unique production site in the country, thanks to the vision of Thierry Corre and the leadership of Benoît Sénéchal.
The Coralium plant specialises in the production of 7.5-meter-long aluminum ingots. This new facility is not only a significant player in France's aluminum industry but also a pioneer in sustainable practices. The plant's carbon footprint is a mere 1.67 kilograms of CO2 per kilogram of aluminum, significantly lower than the average French aluminum production (4.5 kilograms per kilogram of aluminum).
The plant's operations involve grinding, melting, and transforming aluminum into ingots. The waste from this process is piled up, with some pieces shining brightly and others taking on a more matte finish. This sustainable approach to aluminum production contributes to France's energy independence and sets a new standard for the industry.
But the Coralium plant is more than just a production facility. It also serves as an open-air contemporary art museum. Visitors can marvel at the art installations scattered throughout the site, adding a unique and artistic touch to the industrial landscape.
The aluminum produced at the plant is primarily used by the construction sector and industry. This eco-friendly aluminum continues to make a positive impact, contributing to more sustainable buildings and products.
In conclusion, the Coralium plant in Sainte-Hermine is a shining example of sustainable aluminum production and contemporary art. Its unique production process, lower carbon footprint, and commitment to energy independence make it a significant player in France's aluminum industry. And its role as an open-air contemporary art museum adds a touch of culture and creativity to the town of Sainte-Hermine.
