An increasing number of construction manufacturers are recognizing the enormous potential of aluminum. It is used in the manufacture of various types of structural components.
Aluprof has for many years been involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of such solutions as aluminum systems for:
With a combination of superior durability, robustness and relatively low weight, aluminum is an excellent building material. In addition, it is resistant to adverse weather and environmental factors, including moisture and UV radiation. At the same time, it even fits perfectly with the goals of sustainability and recycling in construction.
As the technology for producing aluminum from bauxite ore has developed rapidly, the process now generates nearly 60% less greenhouse gases in comparison with the period from the last decade of the previous century. By 2015, European countries had succeeded in reducing the resulting CO2 emissions into the atmosphere to less than 7 kg for every kilogram of material produced. By comparison, in China the figure is currently about 20 kg, while globally it is about 18 kg.
In parallel, many solutions have been devised to reduce the environmental burden of bauxite ore mining processes. Still, their use comes at a huge financial cost, as once an open-pit mine is closed, it takes many years for the area to be fully restored. That is why aluminum recycling technologies have been developed over the years, and in this respect the material has extraordinary potential.
The processing of this raw material is highly profitable for the following reasons:
At present, about 75% of this raw material is already being recovered, and experts believe it is possible to raise this figure to over 90%. Today, the recycling of building materials made of aluminum is already a major contributor to the industry’s decarbonization goals, and there is ample evidence that it will continue to grow rapidly in importance.
This non-toxic raw material can be obtained from all possible sources. These include demolition materials, cans and used car parts, to name just a few. Aluminum scrap is properly sorted and then cleaned. As a final step, it is crushed in special granulation machines.
Once prepared this way, it is:
