Recyclability
Any waste that is generated during the manufacturing of the material or during the manufacture of panel systems is recycled.
The environmental impact of aluminium has been greatly reduced over the last century, at all stages of the supply chain. Currently, over a third of global aluminium production is from recycled material, a figure that is continually growing.
Recycling aluminium takes just 5% of the energy needed to produce primary metal, resulting in a 95% reduction in greenhouse gases production. Furthermore, due to its recyclability and the fact that it can be recycled again and again without any loss of quality, the ‘bank’ of processed aluminium is getting larger.
Currently 75% of all aluminium produced since the 1880s is still in use for future generations to utilise as a low energy resource. Highly efficient manufacturing processes, operated within an Environmental Management System accredited to ISO 14001:2004, ensure material use is optimised, which helps to reduce waste.
Crushed ACM Material - For recycling
Material that is to be recycled is crushed in a bespoke compressor which results in far fewer transport loads; roughly half the amount of transport is needed for compressed material, compared to uncrushed waste.
