Aluminum is a material that can be recycled indefinitely. The amount of recycled aluminum in circulation is growing steadily.

For our partition wall profiles, we use aluminum that consists of at least 75 percent recycled material. The production scrap generated during manufacturing is collected and recycled into new extruded aluminum products.

For the GK CUBE product series, we use profiles made from Hydro REDUXA, an aluminum with a production-related low _carbon footprint of no more than 4.0 kg CO₂ per kg of aluminum. That’s just one-quarter of the global average!

Hydro REDUXA is verified by DNV GL according to ISO 14064 and covers all CO₂ emissions from bauxite mining through alumina production to aluminum manufacturing. The result is aluminum with one of the best carbon footprints possible today.

Did you know?

About 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.

Aluminum is 100% recyclable. Aluminum recycling is “true” recycling because the aluminum retains its properties even after any number of cycles.

Aluminum is a strategic material in the construction industry with great potential for circularity. Unlike almost any other material, aluminum can be recycled almost indefinitely, over and over again.

Aluminum exhibits excellent formability and high strength. It is used wherever weight reduction, stability, and corrosion resistance are required.

It does not burn and does not emit toxic gases or vapors.

The electricity used for aluminum production is generally generated from hydropower directly at the production site worldwide. And aluminum itself is not a scarce resource — unlike petroleum, from which plastics are derived.
