What is Green Aluminium?

Green aluminium represents a significant shift from conventional production methods, focusing on reducing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources. This is achieved through renewable energy sources and increased use of recycled aluminium materials. It has a far lower environmental footprint while maintaining the same strength and durability.

As the demand for sustainable building materials grows, incorporating green aluminium into your projects is a forward-thinking choice. It not only enhances building performance but also supports environmental conservation. By opting for green aluminium, produced with lower carbon emissions, we can significantly reduce the environmental impact of our buildings.

Green Aluminium refers to aluminium that is produced using low-carbon processes, such as:
✅ Hydroelectric or Renewable Energy Sources – Instead of fossil fuels, the smelting process relies on sustainable energy, reducing emissions.
✅ Recycled Aluminium Content – Uses post-consumer and post-industrial aluminium, minimizing the need for new raw materials.
✅ Efficient Production Methods – Reduces waste and optimizes energy usage for a cleaner manufacturing process.

At Aluwood Floorboards, we are committed to sustainable building solutions. Our green aluminium-based floorboards available on request are 100% recyclable, contributing to a lower-carbon future, without compromising performance or aesthetics. By integrating Green Aluminium, we help architects, designers, and developers create sustainable, high-performance spaces while supporting global efforts to reduce emissions. 

Environmental & Performance Benefits

After the governments reinstatement of the Net Zero council, the construction industy has a spotlight on it to make significant changes in building design & practises. With increasing regulations on sustainable building, choosing aluminium ensures compliance with imminent new or future environmental standards.

✅ Lower Carbon Footprint: Green aluminium can reduce emissions by up to 75%
✅ 100% Recyclable: Unlike other traditional materials, aluminium retains its properties no matter how many times it’s recycled.
✅ Low-Carbon Future – 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today due to its recyclability.
✅ Fast & Efficient Recycling Process – Aluminium can be recycled and back in use within 60 days, making it one of the most efficient materials in the supply chain.
✅ Minimal Waste – Unlike plastics and composite materials, aluminium can be fully recycled without losing any of its structural integrity, preventing unnecessary landfill waste.
