Utilising Pre & Post Consumer Scrap
Our business partners supply certified recycled aluminium that is made from a mix of pre and post consumer scrap, as well as primary aluminium. In this way, all material is utlised to avoid any wastage.
Sustainability & Commitment
At APS Group, we recognise the importance of sustainable working and limiting our impact on the natural world. We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously and take every step to work in an ecologically friendly manner.
The Benefits of Aluminium
The natural strength, lightness, and durability of aluminium make it an ideal material for architectural requirements and can contribute to more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly projects.
Together with our business partners, we’re committed to looking after the environment by supplying sustainable aluminium products. Aluminium can be infinitely recycled without any loss in its inherent material quality. By aiming to reduce the production of primary aluminium through our partnerships, we can help contribute to a circular economy.
As an ISO 14001 accredited organization, we prioritize utilizing a low-carbon, renewable-energy-based aluminium as standard. This baseline significantly reduces the embodied carbon of every project compared to global industry averages. For projects requiring the highest level of environmental performance, we offer high-recycled content alloys (min. 75% post-consumer scrap) upon request. While these involve a price premium due to advanced sorting requirements, they offer a market-leading CO2 footprint as low as 1.9kg CO2e/kg.
Recycling
Aluminium is one of the most abundant metals on the planet. Because recycling aluminium uses 95% less energy than primary production, it is a key material in the fight against climate change. We proudly utilize recycled, low-carbon aluminium sourced exclusively from ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) certified plants, ensuring that our products advance your sustainability goals without compromising on quality.
Low Carbon Footprint
Recycled aluminium that has been made from all usable scrap retains the carbon footprint of its initial production process. There is no limit to how many times it can be recycled either, so carbon savings increase every time it passes through the cycle.
