Why aluminum is the key choice for a greener future

At Profall, we believe aluminum is the foundation for building a more efficient and sustainable industry. Thanks to its unique properties and the possibility to recycle it without compromising quality, aluminum stands out as the ideal material to combine technical performance with environmental respect.

But what truly makes aluminum a strategic choice for the future? Here are the four pillars of its sustainability.

1. Infinite recyclability

Aluminum can be remelted and reused indefinitely, retaining its mechanical properties. This makes it a cornerstone of the circular economy, capable of generating new value without compromising material quality.

2. Drastic energy reduction

Remelting aluminum requires up to 95% less energy compared to primary production from bauxite, with a significantly lower environmental impact and energy cost.

3. Lower CO₂ emissions

Recycling aluminum avoids bauxite extraction and refining, two highly polluting processes. Each ton of recycled aluminum saves up to 9 tons of CO₂ compared to raw material production.

4. Waste reduction and resource protection

Using recycled aluminum helps prevent material waste and value dispersion along the supply chain. It’s a choice that strengthens companies’ ESG strategies and ensures more efficient use of available resources.

The benefits of sustainable aluminum

Choosing sustainable aluminum for industrial profile manufacturing offers tangible benefits – environmental, economic, and strategic.

Let’s explore the main advantages for sustainability-driven companies:

Energy efficiency

Recycling aluminum requires up to 95% less energy than producing it from raw materials. This makes aluminum extremely energy-efficient, significantly reducing consumption throughout the production chain.

Reduced emissions

Using recycled aluminum greatly reduces CO₂ emissions, especially due to lower bauxite extraction and processing needs. Reusing aluminum positively impacts the total emission balance, making it ideal for ESG-conscious companies.

A circular resource

Aluminum retains its original properties even after multiple recycling cycles, supporting a truly circular production model. This makes it a strategic resource for long-term sustainable product development with minimal environmental impact.

Less dependence on raw materials

Recycled aluminum reduces the need for bauxite, cutting costs and pollution from raw material transport and processing. It’s a key advantage for companies aiming to reduce dependency on finite resources, enhancing supply chain stability and sustainability.

Industrial versatility

Eco-friendly aluminum retains all the technical features of primary aluminum: lightness, strength, workability, and conductivity. It suits a wide range of industrial applications – from automotive to electronics, technical furniture, and professional lighting – ensuring high performance and durability.

ESG compliance

Adopting certified ecological aluminum solutions strengthens a company’s sustainable identity, enhancing reputation and compliance with ESG criteria. For Profall’s clients, it means concretely demonstrating environmental commitment with profiles made from traceable materials compliant with major international standards.

Certifications and sustainable materials

Our aluminum profile production uses traceable, certified materials that comply with key international environmental standards. Among these are low-emission alloys like EcoLum™, recognized for their concrete commitment to reducing environmental impact across the supply chain:

Low environmental impact: less than 4.0 t CO₂e per ton of aluminum produced (including Scope 1 and 2)
High recycled content: materials with at least 50% traceable recycled content
Renewable energy production: mainly powered by hydroelectric sources
Full traceability: materials sourced from verified and sustainably managed origins

To ensure the highest level of sustainability, we select materials certified according to top international standards. The table below summarizes the certifications of the sustainable aluminum used in our profile production, offering our clients transparency, reliability, and ESG compliance.

Certification	Description	Reference standard
ASI	Responsible and sustainable aluminum supply chain management	Aluminium Stewardship Initiative
EPD	Environmental Product Declaration with third-party LCA analysis	ISO 14025
LCA	Life Cycle Assessment from raw material to disposal	ISO 14044
GHG Inventory	Monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions across the production chain	ISO 14064

These features allow us to offer high-performance aluminum profiles with a low environmental footprint, ideal for companies aligned with sustainability and ESG goals.

Our industrial aluminum profiles

Our range includes a wide assortment of aluminum profiles, designed to meet every functional and production need. Each profile can be supplied with surface treatments (anodizing, painting, wood effect), custom mechanical processing (cutting, drilling, milling), and tolerances defined according to project requirements.

Standard profiles

Profall’s standard profiles include simple and universal sections such as flat bars, angles, channels, and tubes, made with 1000, 3000, and 6000 series alloys.
They are ideal for common industrial applications that require fast delivery and high reliability, with materials also available in stock.
