AluK has officially joined the Council for Aluminium in Building’s (CAB) closed loop recycling scheme, strengthening the industry’s drive to embed sustainable practices across the aluminium supply chain.
Managing director Russell Yates and health & safety manager Sophie Bragg accepted the membership certificate from CAB chief executive Nigel Headford. Yates emphasized aluminium’s 100% recyclability, highlighting its growing importance as specifiers increasingly focus on embodied carbon in construction. He noted that the scheme provides a timely, collective response to future sustainability demands.
Bragg stressed that the initiative is not only about increasing the amount of recycled aluminium, but also its quality. By separating alloys, such as the 6-series used in window and door extrusions, the scheme ensures that extrusions are recycled back into extrusions, maximizing efficiency.
As CAB president, Yates urged wider participation, encouraging fabricators and installers to join and help shape a true cradle-to-cradle aluminium economy.
