Aluminium used to build cars can now be reused to build…cars. A new alloy called RidgeAlloy turns contaminated scrap into strong structural vehicle parts. This solves a longstanding problem where recycled aluminium from mixed or dirty auto scrap was too weak for structural uses, closing a big loop in the automotive recycling chain. The tech could slash energy use and unlock huge supplies of domestic aluminium. Science Daily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260309225217.htm
