Sustainability overview
Kalzip sustainability focuses on aluminium itself – a material that can be recycled as often as required and has sufficient reserves. It makes a significant contribution to protecting buildings effectively and over decades against external influences and to maintaining their value in the long term.
Thanks to its durability and excellent recycling properties, three-quarters of the aluminium produced worldwide to date is still in use.
One of the outstanding properties of the material is its resistance to weathering and the inherent durability. This creates reassurance, especially when there are high demands on the use of buildings, e.g. at airports, or in aggressive environments, such as near the coast.
- Third most common element of the earth’s crust
- Aluminium, once produced, delivers products for generations through recycling
- It can be recycled without restriction
- Up to 95% of the energy required for production is saved through recycling
- Roof and facade products are durable, maintenance-free, deconstructable and therefore recyclable
- Highly corrosion resistant
