Recycled aluminium is turned back into raw material and can be used in the manufacture of new products. Thus, the aluminium’s journey begins anew.

Old aluminium, a new beginning.

Aluminium profiles and products that have reached the end of their useful life can be reintroduced into the recycling process and reused. The collected aluminium is converted into raw material suitable for remanufacturing through the stages of sorting, processing and smelting.

In this way, aluminium that was previously part of a window, a piece of furniture, an automatic door or some other system can be given a new lease of life as the raw material for a new product.

How Is Aluminium Given a New Lease of Life?

Use → Collection → Sorting → Remelting → New Raw Material → New Product

Recycled aluminium can be incorporated into remanufacturing processes and used in the production of new aluminium products and profiles. This cycle helps to preserve the value of aluminium and contributes to the more efficient use of resources.

Back to the Future

The journey begins with bauxite; after passing through the stages of alumina, aluminium, profiles and use, it is linked back to production through recycling.

Aluminium, sourced from nature, is returned to the future through the right cycle.

Raw materials

Approximately 85 per cent of global bauxite production is used as a raw material in the production of alumina via the Bayer process.

Alumina Formula

Alumina is, chemically speaking, aluminium oxide, and its formula is Al₂O₃.

Melting Point

The melting point of aluminium is approximately 660 °C.

The Third Element

Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, after oxygen and silicon.

Recyclable

Aluminium can be recycled at the end of its service life and used in new production.

Light

Aluminium is about a third lighter than steel.

Areas of Application

Aluminium profiles can be used in a wide range of applications, such as joinery, furniture, curtains, shutters, awnings, automatic doors and solar systems.
