One of the most important levers is the choice of materials. The right mix of low-emission materials, their durability and the use of renewable energies for their production are crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Aluminium plays an important role in façade construction, window solutions and interior design. Aluminium components have proven themselves thanks to their minimal maintenance requirements and long service life, among other things. Thanks to their corrosion resistance, aluminium building façades often last longer than 50 years.
We
offer alloys with a high percentage of process and recycled scrap or made from primary aluminium with a reduced carbon footprint. We currently offer our customers three low-carbon alloys:
- EN AW-6060 Green Low GL: Alloy made from particularly CO2-reduced and recycled aluminium with a minimum of 85 % post-consumer scrap and a CO2-footprint of a maximum of 1.23 kg CO2 equivalent per kg of aluminium.
- EN AW-6060 Low Carbon LC: Alloys made from primary aluminium with a reduced carbon footprint of 3.8 kg CO2 equivalent per kg of aluminium.
- EN AW-6060 Green: Alloys with a guaranteed recycled material percentage of minimum 70%.
