In today’s world, where environmental awareness and sustainability are at the heart of business activity, Tilcon SA is committed to actively contribute to the protection of the environment through recycling and reuse of its materials.
The Importance of Aluminium Recycling
Aluminium is one of the most recyclable materials, as it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties. Recycling aluminium requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium, thus making a significant contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and saving natural resources. These energy savings are crucial to reducing the environmental footprint of the aluminium window manufacturing industry.
The Recycling Process at Tilcon SA
The recycling process at Tilcon AE includes several stages, from the collection and sorting of aluminium scrap to reprocessing and the production of new products. Each step is designed to maximize efficiency and minimize waste.
- Collection and sorting: Tilcon SA collects aluminium scrap from its own production plants. The sorting is based on the quality and type of aluminium, ensuring that only clean and suitable materials proceed to the next phase.
- Re-processing: aluminium scrap is melted in special furnaces, where it is cleaned of impurities and processed to return it to its original form. This process ensures that the recycled aluminium retains its physical and chemical properties.
- Production of new products: Tilcon SA ensures that its products meet the highest standards of quality and durability, thus offering its customers solutions that combine aesthetics with environmental responsibility.
Benefits of Recycling for Society and the Environment
Recycling of aluminium scrap by Tilcon SA has multiple benefits for society and the environment. First of all, it reduces the need for mining new raw materials, which contributes to the preservation of natural resources and the reduction of environmental destruction. In addition, the reduction of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions contributes to addressing climate change.
Commitment to Sustainability
Tilcon SA is committed to continue investing in technology and processes that support recycling and sustainable development. The company continuously monitors trends and innovations in the recycling sector, with the aim of continuously improving its practices and incorporating the best available technologies.
In summary, Tilcon SA’s recycling of aluminium scrap is not just a business practice, but a key strategy for achieving sustainable development and environmental protection.
