Aluminium Recycling
Our business is primarily that of recycling aluminium – recovering valuable aluminium from post consumer and factory waste.
Our process is inherently environmentally friendly and uses 5% of the energy required to make new aluminium. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without loss of properties and will save 7 times the energy required in its initial production when used in vehicles as a substitute for steel, due to the fuel saving of lighter vehicles.
In food applications, aluminium provides an impermeable barrier to micro-organisms and extends shelf life, thus reducing waste and product costs.
In a global context there is approximately 400 million tonnes of aluminium in use, providing a stockpile for use and re-use by future generations.
Emissions Control
We invest heavily in the latest furnaces and filtration equipment to ensure complete combustion of contaminants and fuels and capture or neutralisation of resultant gases and particles to levels well below those of national and international standards.
