aluNID®, an example of circular economy and sustainability

/in /von

aluNID® has been ever committed with the environment and circular economy.

Proof of this is that all the products that we produce in this business area are ecodesigned, that means, since the first approach and passing for the development and up to finish with life cycle, aluNID® respects your environment.

This is possible because, for the elaboration of some alloys aluNID® utilizes recycled aluminium instead or primary aluminium, that means a reduction in consumption of 95% compared to that used in the extraction of primary aluminium*. This reduction also has a clear environmental benefit and it is that by consuming much less energy, the emissions of greenhouse gases during the production process are also much more reduced.

The aluminium is a material infinite recyclable. It keeps 100% of its properties during recycling process and for this reason is possible to produce products maintaining the same quality.

Moreover, all the waste generated during the production are recycled and/or reused on a case-by-case basis. Therefore aluNID® is a clear example of integration of circular economy with our plant, from being a waste product to resource through the reuse of leftover materials. In that way, aluNID® shows its firm compromise with circular economy and environmental sustainability.

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

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.
