ALUCOBOND® circular

What are the advantages?

• Reduction of CO₂ emissions: The CO₂ emissions of the cover plates have been reduced by 52% compared to conventional processes. Circular
• economy: Production waste is recycled, the aluminium is melted down again and used for new panels.
• Short transport routes: With transport routes of less than 15 kilometres between the recycling company and the manufacturer, we further minimise the ecological footprint.
• Environmentally friendly and efficient: The use of secondary aluminium saves fossil raw materials and reduces greenhouse gas emissions without the need for adjustments to existing processing plants.
• Variety in design: ALUCOBOND® circular is available in numerous surfaces and colour variants, thus offering maximum design freedom.

What is the mass balancing method:

The CO₂ footprint is calculated according to the mass balance method. In accordance with the recommendation of "European Aluminium", we use the cut-off approach for the cradle-to-gate CO₂ footprint data. This means that we rate both pre- and post-consumer waste as CO₂ neutral.

The use of secondary aluminium offers numerous advantages: greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and fossil raw materials are saved, while product quality and properties remain the same. The products can be processed as usual, and neither plants nor processes have to be adapted when processing our ALUCOBOND® composite panels.

ALUCOBOND® circular is available with both a flame-retardant core (technical details ALUCOBOND® PLUS) and a non-combustible core (technical details ALUCOBOND® A2). The product is subject to the availability of recycled aluminium in terms of quantity.

Sustainability rethought

ALUCOBOND® circular is more than a product – it is our contribution to a circular economy and the responsible use of resources. Each panel used helps to increase the proportion of emission-reduced secondary aluminium and to make the vision of a more sustainable construction method a reality.
