The British brand says that in just one year, you can recover more than 50 thousand tons of this material, the equivalent weight of 200,000 bodies of XE.
Jaguar Land Rover has created a cycle program closed aluminum recycling in the ENHANCE project. At a time when celebrating a year in which the XE is for sale, a model that incorporates recycled aluminum, Jaguar took the opportunity to announce that the ENHANCE project has allowed to recover more than 50 tons - the equivalent weight of 200,000 bodies of saloon which were reintroduced in the production process during the past few months. In that first year, this project has prevented more than 500 tons of CO2 equivalent were emitted into the atmosphere, while not being material used for primary aluminum base.
The ENHANCE project (see video) involves pressing 11 workshops in the UK, responsible for separate waste and scrap of aluminum, to rewrite recycled aluminum plates to be used in new models of Jaguar Land Rover.
The goal, according to the head of engineering JLR group, Nick Rogers, is "using up to 75% recycled aluminum in the body in the body of our vehicles by 2020". Recycled aluminum is also being used in the XF and F-Pace.
