July 9, 2025. In line with its commitment to protect the planet and develop recyclable and environmentally friendly alloys, Aludium launched the Aludium ECO trademark in 2002. This innovative solution offers products with a low carbon footprint compared with the European average, for such varied markets as buildings and construction, cosmetics and the automotive sector.
Aludium ECO has since its launch garnered considerable interest in numerous market segments, as a key ally in building a sustainable and low-emissions value chain. The four categories of Aludium ECO products -Aludium ECO 2.0, Aludium ECO 3.0, Aludium ECO 4.0 and Aludium ECO P7- come with a certified carbon footprint, from production to sale.
5005: new certified alloy
“Innovation focused on enabling aluminium to be recycled in increasingly complex products has allowed us to reduce the carbon footprint of a great many products in our portfolio by at least -0.5 t CO2/t Al from production to sale,” asserts Catalina Fernández, director of Cindal and member of the Aludium executive team. “This major achievement is the result of the climate commitments established in our sustainability goals for 2025 and 2030, and it is in line with this responsibility that we are bringing the 5005 alloy certification to market in all Aludium ECO categories: Aludium ECO 2.0, Aludium ECO 3.0, Aludium ECO 4.0 and Aludium ECO P7,” the executive adds.
The 5005 alloy is widely used in the buildings and construction sector, above all on façades, because of its optimal corrosion resistance. Its technical characteristics likewise lend themselves to use in other segments, as it can be anodized and welded, and as a ‘mid-strength’ alloy, can also be formed and folded.
Transparency forms part of our good governance and our commitment to our clients. Aludium accordingly works with external certification bodies for procedures both to calculate emissions and the percentage of recycled aluminum, and also the carbon footprint of our products.
