Recycling past for a Green future: Raffmetal chooses Ecomondo
November 13, 2014
Raffmetal took part to Ecomondo for the first time, the important international trade show dedicated to key European and global green economy strategies. Raffmetal participated in it for the first time, thus underlining its commitment to topics linked to the eco-sustainability of its production.
Ecomondo is undoubtedly the most influential showcase in the Mediterranean area on all that is eco-innovation and the transformation of waste into resources, this is the reason why the aluminium alloy was one of the protagonists of the event. This shows the values of social, economic and environmental in which Raffmetal believes and works constantly.
Recycled aluminium alloy is a high quality material that allows significant savings in terms of environmental and energetic impact.
Some examples?
- Aluminium is infinitely recyclable , 75% of all aluminum produced in the history is still in use ;
- The production of secondary aluminum saves 95% of energy demand compared to the production of primary aluminum
- Each year, thanks to the Italian production of secondary aluminum we save over 1 million and a half kg of oil, with a saving of over 51 million kilowatts of electricity that allow to light 17,000 homes for free
- Thanks to the production of recycled aluminium in Europe we save as much CO2 as a car can produce to drive 16 million times around the earth .
