Seco/Warwick to deliver equipment for the titanium recycling plant EcoTitanium

The equipment supplier Seco/Warwick Europe and Retech Systems LLC signed a contract for the delivery of a comprehensive melt shop equipment package to a new European facility for recycling of aviation-grade titanium. The facility called EcoTitanium will be Europe’s first aerospace-grade titanium recycling plant. At the end of April 2015 the first stone of the EcoTitanium project was laid in Saint-Georges-de-Mons, Auvergne (France), in the presence of French Prime Minister Manuel Valls.

The equipment supplier Seco/Warwick Europe and Retech Systems LLC signed a contract for the delivery of a comprehensive melt shop equipment package to a new European facility for recycling of aviation-grade titanium. The facility called EcoTitanium will be Europe’s first aerospace-grade titanium recycling plant. At the end of April 2015 the first stone of the EcoTitanium project was laid in Saint-Georges-de-Mons, Auvergne (France), in the presence of French Prime Minister Manuel Valls.
At the end of 2014 UKAD, a subsidiary of Aubert & Duval (Eramet Group) and UKTMP, the French state, through ADEME and Crédit Agricole Centre France signed the agreement to launch the EcoTitanium project. The aim of the project is to build and operate Europe’s first recycling plant for aviation grade titanium in Saint-Georges-de-Mons, Auvergne, France. The aviation titanium recycling project will provide the European aircraft manufacturing industry with a new channel that is independent from American and Russian sources, giving it greater control over its supply of a strategic raw material, titanium. EcoTitanium's qualification cycle will begin in 2017. Industrial production is scheduled to start in 2018. Here are EcoTitanium’s key figures:
  • 3 shareholders,
  • 62 direct jobs should be created,
  • 48.7 €M capital invested,
  • 100,000 tons of CO2 emissions prevented by this recycling approach, compared with conventional primary production.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Für mehr Produktivität braucht es die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen

Künstliche Intelligenz: Für mehr Produktivität braucht es die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen

16.06.25

Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird ein hohes Potenzial für ökonomische und gesellschaftliche Disruption zugeschrieben. Auch im Bereich der Produktivitätsentwicklung sind die Erwartungen groß. KI kann bereits heute Arbeitsprozesse massiv vereinfachen und beschleunigen. Daher lohnt es sich – abseits von utopischen bzw. dystopischen Zukunftsvisionen –, auf Basis aktueller Studien einen Blick auf konkret zu erwartende Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaftsentwicklung zu werfen.
