Caring for the environment, a commitment of all of us

Next Saturday, June 5, is World Environment Day, an important date, especially in these critical times the planet is going through, where society, business and government must reflect on the care of our environment and promote respect for it.

This requires an active participation and commitment on the part of all towards a common goal, sustainable development. Both smes and large companies are, probably, the most important agents because they are responsible for setting an example and knowing how to transmit among their workers the message and the appropriate values to achieve the goal that unites us all, the respect and protection of our planet.

ALIBERICO, since its beginnings, is very conscious and committed to the care of the Environment and sustainable development, proof of this is that all the factories that compose it: IBERFOIL, ALUCOIL, ALUCOAT, REDBOND, EUROCOLOR, ALINTRA SYSTEMS and ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING, are subject to strict environmental policies that aim to Reduce the consumption of materials, waste and energy, Recycle all excess material to give it a new life, Reuse recycled material, continuously Review, Optimize and Implement improvements in its production processes to Reduce its carbon footprint, and Innovate and Develop new products that offer sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions.

This is possible, among other things, thanks to the material with which the ALIBERICO works, aluminium, a sustainable material by nature, which, thanks to its characteristics, is ideal for sustainable development and is self-sufficient in its circular economy, where everything is used and nothing is wasted. Moreover, at a very low cost because the use and recycling of aluminium represents an energy saving of 95%.

ALIBERICO is committed to the environment, sustainable development and a green future, investing all the necessary resources, transmitting to all its staff its philosophy of good work based on objectives and values and continually adapting to the changing world in which we live to ensure that the world that comes to us is better, greener, more respectful and more sustainable.

The relevance of Recycling and the Circular Economy

In an increasingly populated world where there are fewer and fewer resources due to their overexploitation, it is essential to implement all necessary measures to try to make better use of natural resources. For this reason, recycling is of vital importance for the long-term sustainable development of our natural environment, giving us a better future.

Betting on recycling is synonymous with commitment to the environment, to the future and to people, because the process involves investing in industry and innovation, which translates into the creation of stable jobs and therefore contribute to economic growth and social wealth where we all benefit.

ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING is a leader in the manufacture of semi-rigid aluminium containers for the food sector and has developed and implemented an internal system of total utilization of the surplus in the production process, that means, the factory generates „0 waste“. This allows us to participate in the circular economy by having an integral process.

Aluminium is a noble metal that has a long-life cycle, it is one of the few 100% recyclable materials that does not lose any of its properties during the recycling process and this implies that it is a material that „feeds itself“, that means, it has a perfect circular economy, because both the containers that have already been used and recycled, as well as the surplus material during the manufacturing process, are pressed, packaged and re-melted to give it a new application (SDG 8 and 13). Thanks to the pressing and baling process of surplus material, ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING reduces the space occupied during transportation and pollutant gas emissions (SDGs 11 and 12).

This is one of the differential advantages of ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING that allows the company to take advantage of and reuse all the material. A gesture as simple as recycling the packaging of ready meals, desserts or frozen foods by taking them to the correct container, this responsibility extends the life of aluminium and improves the sustainability of the planet, creating a better future.

ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING, an essential and strategic company for Spain, is committed to a more sustainable planet.

ALIBERICO committed to the Circular Economy: the time is now

Today, International Recycling Day, the event “Circular Economy: the time is now” took place at the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid, organized and chaired by Teresa Ribera, Vice President of the Government and Minister for Ecological Transition, who also presented the new Waste Law.

The day was divided into several round tables, with the participation of the most representative companies from different sectors, including Endesa, Coca Cola and ALIBERICO, as leaders in the manufacture of aluminium products.

Clemente González Soler, President of ALIBERICO, outlined the high properties of aluminium, infinitely recyclable, as a strategic material to boost the Circular Economy and promote prosperity and sustainability in Spain. In his speech, he highlighted the “Zero Waste” environmental policy implemented in ALIBERICO ‘s factories, as well as the importance of increasing the recyclability of aluminium to minimize the carbon footprint, reducing electricity consumption by up to 95% with the manufacture of secondary aluminium compared to primary aluminium. It also means a greater independence of supply of this material in Spain.

ALIBERICO, committed to the Spain 2030 agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.

ALIBERICO RENEWS TWO MORE SEASONS WITH CFF OLYMPIA LAS ROZAS

A commitment to sport and equality within its Sustainable Development Goals plan, creating a path towards a more prosperous and sustainable world.

Aliberico, the first Spanish and European private family group, manufacturer of aluminium semi-processed products, continues supporting women’s football in Spain with the renewal of its sponsorship, for two more seasons, to the Olympia Las Rozas Women’s Football Club, with which it has had a collaboration agreement since 2020.

The non-profit project was born in 2015 with the unique objective of promoting women’s sport, and particularly football, in all its categories and ages, from children to adults.

The agreement was signed this morning at the headquarters of Aliberico, between its president, Clemente González Soler, and the president of the Olympia Las Rozas Football Club, Sonia Soria Colino.

Aliberico and the Olympia Las Rozas Women’s Football Club share the vision of believing and trusting in people, always on equal terms and opportunities, and share an identical culture around objectives and values such as teamwork, effort, passion and enthusiasm to achieve new goals.

Since its foundation, CFF Olympia Las Rozas has achieved remarkable sporting success, placing several of its teams at the top of the various categories. At the moment, both its Juvenil Preferente and Senior A teams are at the top of the rankings.

Indeed, it has been attitudes such as the effort and determination of its players to give their best in every match, which have determined ALIBERICO’s decision to continue supporting the Club.

During the contract renewal ceremony, Clemente González Soler, president of Aliberico, said: „At Aliberico we are very proud to be part of the CFF Olympia Las Rozas family, to promote sport and to be able to help the players to achieve their dreams“.

Sonia Soria Colino, president of Olympia Las Rozas Football Club, said: „I am very proud to be able to renew the partnership for two more seasons with Aliberico, because in addition to sharing the values of sport, it shows that it is a modern and friendly company that truly believes in equal opportunities. It is a privilege to be able to count on a company that suffers with our defeats and enjoys our victories, a company that helps us and gives us stability. Society needs more entrepreneurs like Clemente“.

IBERFOIL’s strong commitment to a better world

With the aim of achieving the eradication of poverty, eliminating inequalities and protecting the planet by 2030, IBERFOIL focuses all the efforts of its activity on complying with the agenda set by the United Nations, which is supported by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The most important objective for the company is people, which is why it dedicates and invests great efforts in training its employees (SDGs 3 and 4) and in providing new opportunities for future generations, collaborating with Vocational Training Centres and Universities in the area (SDG 8).

Strongly committed to innovation, the future and industry (SDG 9), it has recently expanded its infrastructures with the new Tension Levelling Line in order to be able to enter new markets with innovative and high-quality products.

On the other hand, it is deeply concerned with the environment and with quality policies based on a sustainable future, carrying out strict controls throughout its production process that guarantee maximum use of the raw material with which it works, aluminium, and therefore ensure responsible production and consumption, both of resources and of the energy used (SDGs 6, 7 and 12).

Furthermore, thanks to the properties of aluminium, it is possible to recycle and reuse the surplus material an infinite number of times without losing its properties during the process. This means that its ecological footprint and environmental impact are drastically reduced as nothing is wasted from this raw material, and everything enters back into the infinite circular economy (SDGs 13 and 15).

There is still a lot of work to be done to achieve the goals set by the UN, but IBERFOIL is confident that through the values it promotes in its workers, the effort and enthusiasm of society as a whole, these goals will be achieved and, to this end, it will continue to work and focus its business strategy on achieving a better world.
