The compromise of ALUCOAT: recyclability and sustainability

/in /von

ALUCOAT, is an expert in coating aluminium coils between 20 and 500 microns thick. ALUCOAT supplies materials certified as “safe materials” to a wide range of sectors such as food, pharmacy, insulation, construction, among others and in its daily activity contributes to global sustainability, recycling all the aluminium waste generated when coating.

Aluminium is one of the materials presents in the earth’s layer that is 100% recyclable, it can be recycled infinitely many times and it can be re-used without losing its properties with a 95% of recovery rate. As a curious fact, the 75% of all the aluminium produced in the World since 1950’s it still in use*. Another advantage related with recycling is that it’s avoid the emission of an average of 90 million of CO2 to the atmosphere per year*. Regarding the energy required in its initial production to obtain primary aluminium, giving aluminium a new life means an energy saving of 95%.

For these reasons, ALUCOAT, committed to sustainability and the future, recycles 100% of all the waste generated during its productive process of coating. Moreover, more than 60% of our coated aluminium comes from recycled aluminium, minimizing the extraction of new resources and promoting the circular economy.

The „Sunthalpy“ house celebrates its first year off-grid

/in /von

On 16 October was celebrated in Oviedo, the first anniversary of the disconnection of Sunthalpy, the first fully autonomous house installed in an Atlantic climate.

This single-family house has spent a whole year without being connected to the electricity grid and without using fossil fuels, maintaining electricity, hot water, a heated swimming pool and charging an electric car, with sunlight, in a place like Asturias, which has only 2,000 hours of sunlight per year.

Sunthalpy has created the low enthalpy solar building. It is a system of solar capture and accumulation integrated into the building, which is patented at European level and allows to convert into thermal solar panels of very high efficiency any facade or roof material (such as those manufactured by ALUCOIL) being able to cover all energy needs of buildings, even on completely overcast winter days.

Sunthalpy, together with ALIBERICO, through its subsidiary ALUCOIL, a world leader in the manufacture of panels for facades of unique buildings, with its brands larson® and larcore®, are carrying out an integration of their materials with Sunthalpy’s patented solar collection technology and developing the industrialization of this technology that allows buildings to operate with clean energy, without depending on the electricity grid, thus reducing CO2 emissions and with the ultimate goal of creating a world free of greenhouse gas emissions in 2050.

The event, which was held in the house itself, was chaired by Enrique Fernández, Minister of Industry of the Government of the Principality of Asturias and by Belén Martín, Managing Director of ALUCOIL, together with Omar Suárez, CEO, founder and host of Sunthalpy.

ALIBERICO, betting today, for the materials of tomorrow

IBERFOIL Integra, for a sustainable world and industry

/in /von

IBERFOIL, specialist in aluminium rolling, presented last week IBERFOIL Integra project at the Hydrogen Foundation in Huesca.

This project aims to melt and recycle aluminium scrap and is set to become an industrial reference of Circular Economy in Spain.

IBERFOIL Integra will not only increase the recyclability of aluminium in Spain, but also guarantee the supply of raw materials in essential industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, among others. It also means a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 90% reduction in energy consumption compared to primary aluminium.

The purpose of this project is to reduce, recycle and reuse a material such as aluminium that can be melted infinite times without losing its properties, achieving a Circular Economy with zero waste.

ALIBÉRICO is investing in a more sustainable future. Furthermore, this project will help to create social wealth with new and stable jobs.

IBERFOIL is once again committed to people, industry, innovation and sustainability (SDGs 7, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 15).

Clemente González Soler participated in the Industrialized Construction forum at Rebuild 2021

/in /von

During these days, the National Congress of Advanced Architecture and Construction 4.0, Rebuild 2021 has taken place. One of the most important architecture fairs on the international scene.

This space of convergence is where the leading companies of the sector meet to discuss the future of architecture: innovation, sustainability and digitization for this sector. The President of ALIBERICO, Clemente González Soler, has participated as a speaker in one of these events.

Within the Industrialization forum, under the slogan ‚Industrialization: Road with no return‚, important topics such as the industrialization of architecture, the challenges to overcome to implement industrialization in construction or how the industry can drive the transformation of the sector have been discussed. Also the evolution of materials, the investment in R&D, or the unification and planning of processes as a basis for promoting the industrialization of construction have been conversed.

Developing industrialized construction can ultimately lead to savings in processes, materials and something that is currently of great concern, which is the improvement of sustainability, the reduction of the carbon footprint and the recycling of materials to encourage the circular economy. In this sense, the President of ALIBERICO explained that „One of the fundamental pillars for the success of industrialization is the selection of MATERIALS, which lighten the weight, are recyclable, sustainable and offer high properties„.

The industrialization of construction in the housing sector is a great opportunity that is also accompanied by opportunities in other large constructions such as hospitals, hotels… Something that ALUCOIL® is already working on with its project for the creation and assembly of SANILUX, modular operating rooms and that in the near future, as ALIBERICO’s President, Clemente González Soler, has revealed for the first time, will be accompanied by the creation of aluminium bathrooms in series.

In ALIBERICO we design today the materials of the future.

ALUCOAT joins ASI, the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative

/in /von

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, ASI, is a certification and standard-setting organization that recognizes and promotes responsible aluminium production, sourcing and stewardship. This global initiative was created to support members of responsible supply chains and is the result of producers, users and stakeholders coming together to create an agreement on „responsible aluminium“. This enables the entire aluminium industry to demonstrate accountability and provide independent, credible and verifiable evidence of its environmental, social and management performance.

Certification according to ASI Performance Standard Certification is based on 11 principles and 62 criteria including production management, business integrity, transparency, materials stewardship, environmental care, CO2 emissions or labor rights.

ALUCOAT, specialist in coated aluminium coils between 20 and 500 microns, has joined this initiative as a member since June, being this the beginning of the path towards obtaining the certification ASI Performance Standard Certification in the next two years to demonstrate the responsible aluminium production, supply and management.

ALUCOAT,  committed to SDGs: industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), responsible production and consumption (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13).
