Capacity and output of the group companies’ plants
Full capacity of the group companies’ plants – the sum of the capacity of operating plants, irrespective of the group’s share in the plant.
| Metal | Stage | Full capacity / Output | Unit | Plants in total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aluminium | secondary aluminium and foundry alloys | 205 capacity | kt/rok | 3 |
| aluminium | dross and salt-slag processing | 450 capacity | kt/rok | 3 |
| nickel + zinc | zinc recycling (EAF dust, dross) | 174 capacity | kt/rok | 2 |
| zinc | zinc recycling (EAF dust, dross) | 597 capacity | kt/rok | 5 |
Totals cover the full capacity (and output) of operating plants owned by the group companies, without taking shares in jointly owned plants into account; capacity attributed to the group by share will be added in the next stage. Only values in the same unit and for the same metal are added up.
