Aluminium
Endless sustainability, consistent performance
Lightweight, durable and infinitely recyclable, aluminium is considered a permanent material that retains its properties over time.
Why Aluminium
Aluminium is a noble metal with remarkable properties
Aluminium represents:
- a strategic resource;
- a pillar of the circular economy;
- a tool for reducing environmental impact;
- the foundation of a sustainable industrial model
Aluminium is a noble metal that can be recycled indefinitely. It is lightweight, resistant to impact and corrosion, durable, non-magnetic, and an excellent conductor of heat, electricity and sound.
A symbol of the circular economy, aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without losing its essential properties. It can be considered a “permanent material” that can be used and reused without limit, retaining its integrity for future applications.
Today, 75% of all aluminium ever produced worldwide is still in use.
Advantages of recycled aluminium
In a global production context increasingly focused on reducing environmental impact, optimising resource use and improving supply chain sustainability, the use of secondary aluminium is an essential technological and environmental choice.
Energy savings
The recycling process requires approximately 95% less energy than primary aluminium production.
Reduction of CO₂ emissions
Recycling aluminium enables a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with up to 90% fewer emissions than primary production.
Versatility and quality
Recycled aluminium retains the same properties and quality as primary aluminium, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Resource sustainability
Recycling helps reduce pressure on bauxite extraction and conserve natural resources.
Infinitely recyclable
Aluminium is an extraordinary material: it can be recycled continuously without losing its original properties.
Reduction of solid waste
As a fully recyclable material, aluminium helps reduce the volume of generated waste by up to 99%.
