RECYCLING ALUMINUM – THE SECOND LIFE OF A SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL
“Not all materials get a second life – but aluminum does.”
In the global shift toward sustainability, aluminum stands out as one of the few materials that is infinitely recyclable, quality-retaining, and emissions-reducing compared to primary production.
🔄 1. Recycling – The Start of a New Lifecycle
-
Scrap aluminum (from windows, electronics, auto parts…) is collected → melted → recast into billets → extruded into new products
-
This process uses only 5% of the energy required to produce aluminum from bauxite
📌 1 ton of recycled aluminum saves around 14,000 kWh of energy and avoids 9+ tons of CO₂ emissions.
♻️ 2. No Quality Lost – No Value Lost
-
Recycled aluminum maintains its strength, formability, and lightness
-
Reusable across industries: construction, furniture, automotive, aerospace, packaging, renewables
👉 A profile today can be a window frame – and tomorrow, a solar mounting structure.
🌱 3. CKDA & the Circular Commitment
-
CKDA sources from traceable, verified recycled billet suppliers
