A new investment toward circularity

TECHNAL, a pioneer in low-carbon and circular aluminium windows, doors, and facade systems proudly announces a significant investment in its Atessa, Italy remelt plant. This development will enable the plant to produce post-consumer recycled aluminium Hydro CIRCAL®, marking a substantial advancement in TECHNAL's circularity journey.

Circularity Milestones and Future Goals

Since 2018, TECHNAL has made significant progress in reducing the carbon footprint of its products through the use of low carbon recycled materials. It all started with one project using Hydro CIRCAL® 75R. Six years later, using this alloy has become standard for all their products, rather than as a service for specific customer requests.

TECHNAL's dedication to circularity extends beyond increasing the production of recycled aluminium. They are committed to driving decarbonisation in the building and construction sector by promoting 'urban mining' - transforming old buildings into new structures. This circular approach has been in development for many years.

Their strategy includes forming robust partnerships with customers and suppliers to ensure a closed-loop system. This approach facilitates the responsible collection and transformation of aluminium window, door, and facade materials and components to minimise waste and maximising resource efficiency within the construction industry.

Impact and Future Plans

By prioritising the use of end-of-life recycled materials, TECHNAL is making a significant contribution to waste reduction and fostering a more circular economy. The next phase involves increasing the number of collection and recycling points across Europe to further enhance the recovery of materials from renovation projects.
