Aluminium is a completely renewable material. In ancient times, it was considered to be a noble and more-precious-than-gold material. Today, thinking aluminium is more necessary than ever. It has always been known for being light-weight, resilient, malleable, but most of all reusable and eco-friendly. Producing 1 Kg of ready-to-use aluminium from scrap is less expensive than 1 kW-h of energy, compared to the 13/14 kW-h required to extract it from bauxite.
ECO-friendly
Aluminium is 100% reusable
A clean melting
Fonderie Pandolfo melts and re-melts aluminium using a state-of-the-art technology in line with the stricter environmental protection criteria. The melting plant features a post-combustion and fume regeneration system to minimise energy consumption.
An important and sophisticated aspiration and filtration system allows to respect the strictest European laws in terms of emissions (BAT regulation 2010/75/UE.)
Our billets satisfy the requirements of the L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system for “low environmental impact” extruded products for the building industry.
Originally developed in the United States in the 1990s, the L.E.E.D. certification system has recently been adopted in Europe too.
