In a bold move towards sustainable innovation, IBERFOIL is driving forward with Project Integra II: Pioneering Circular Economy in Aluminium.

In a new chapter of their commitment to sustainability, IBERFOIL, a leader in advanced aluminium solutions, takes a daring step with “Project Integra II: Implementation of circular economy in aluminium through the reuse of scrap waste.” This project, backed by the European Union through co-financing with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), reflects IBERFOIL’s vision for a more sustainable future.

With file number EC-22-2023 and a grant of €67,927.25, this groundbreaking project stands out for its focus on research and development. Under the slogan “A way of making Europe”, the ERDF supports IBERFOIL‘s initiative to drive the Circular Economy in the aluminium sector.

Project Integra II, centred on innovation and development, introduces secondary aluminium smelting in Spain, representing a significant advancement in the circular economy of the industry. An innovative multicameral furnace, equipped with advanced technology, allows for efficient and sustainable smelting of secondary aluminium, reducing costs and improving the quality of the final product.

Furthermore, due to its control capacity, the amount of oxygen in the smelting zone is adjusted, enabling a more efficient and precise fusion of aluminium scrap, thus minimizing material loss and promoting recycling.

The implementation of this technology in the aluminium industry in Spain has the potential to generate a positive impact on both the economy and the environment. Aluminium smelting, through material recycling, contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
By driving research and development with Project Integra II, IBERFOIL demonstrates its ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of solutions that benefit both the company and the environment.

IBERFOIL is forging a sustainable future, step by step, towards a greener world.

IBERFOIL revolutionizes the Aluminium Industry with the Implementation of Project Integra I: Innovative Multicameral Furnace for Circular Economy.

In a bold move towards the forefront of sustainability, IBERFOIL, a specialist in advanced aluminium solutions, announces a strategic investment in “Project Integra I: Implementation of a multicameral furnace to promote circular economy in the aluminium industry.” This project, distinguished by its innovative approach, promises to radically transform production processes and reinforce IBERFOIL‘s commitment to sustainable business practices.

This project, with file number EC-22.a-2023 and a grant of €193,149.39, aims to promote the Circular Economy in aluminium production. Thanks to this, the project has received financial support from the European Union and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Its emblem, “A way of making Europe”, not only underscores the European Union’s commitment to sustainable initiatives but also recognizes the vision and efforts of IBERFOIL in the field of the Circular Economy.

The central and most prominent component of this significant investment is the introduction of a sophisticated multicameral furnace at the IBERFOIL ARAGÓN facilities. This revolutionary system for melting dirty aluminium scrap stands out for its ability to carry out the process without generating waste, thus avoiding the emission of polluting fumes.

Project Integra I represents a tangible commitment to innovation and sustainability. IBERFOIL is leading the way towards a cleaner and more efficient future in the aluminium industry, actively contributing to the vision of the European Regional Development Fund program “Building Europe from Aragon” through its commitment to the Circular Economy and responsible business practices.

At IBERFOIL, we continue to reaffirm our commitment to eco-efficiency in the industry.
