"AMAG is an innovative premium supplier of aluminium flat rolled products made of sustainably produced primary material and a focus on specialty products.

• Closed-loop-recyclingrefers to closed material cycles and the best possible utilization of resources

• In the manufacture of complex metal parts from a single workpiece involving milling, for example, a great part of the material is removed. The chips and off-cuts are recycled accordingly.

• Buy to fly ratio: this ratio expresses the relationship between the weight of the purchased raw material and the weight of the final part
