Environmental care activities are very important to us and are one of the key values on which we base our business. The basis of our production is aluminium recycling and the inspiration is the circular economy. As a mature and responsible organisation, we aim to improve environmental standards in the metal industry in general, to make full use of the resources we have and to reduce the amount of waste we generate. For this reason, we are constantly investing in the modernisation of our plants, introducing innovative production technologies and being open to the application of sustainable solutions.
Aluminium is a remarkable raw material in many respects. It is easily worked and cast, and can be recycled infinitely many times without loss of quality. It is also the second most used metal in the world in terms of technical applications, which creates a lot of waste. As well as saving natural deposits of aluminium scrap, recycling aluminium is also environmentally friendly and plays a key role in a circular economy.
1
Aluminium is known as a green metal because of its excellent recycling properties
2
Recycling means 95% fewer emissions into the atmosphere and surface water compared to the production of aluminium from bauxite
3
Recycling is less energy intensive and 60% cheaper than producing aluminium from ore
4
Recycling reduces the production of greenhouse gases by around 80 million tonnes per year compared to primary aluminium production
5
Up to 95-98% of aluminium can be recirculated
In line with the circular economy model, we aim to use raw materials, materials and products for as long as possible. We also take measures to reduce the generation of waste, and treat those that are created as secondary raw materials. This allows us to use available resources more efficiently, protect the environment and make production independent of the availability of natural resources.
