The first certified recycled aluminum in Greece for architectural system profiles bears the “Loop 60” signature.
In today’s rapidly changing world, where environmental challenges loom large, the imperative of preserving our planet and using natural resources responsibly has never been more pressing. At our company, we have embraced a sustainable growth model, investing in practices that reduce our environmental impact and conserve energy and raw materials. A significant milestone in our sustainability journey is the introduction of Loop 60.
So, what exactly is Loop 60?
Loop 60 represents the first certified recycled aluminium in Greece for architectural system profiles, comprising 60% recycled material. Its introduction underscores our steadfast commitment to sustainable resource management, playing a vital role in energy conservation and minimizing our environmental footprint. 
The development of Loop 60 was the result of thorough analysis of technical requirements and cutting-edge research into innovative technologies, all aimed at producing top-quality recycled aluminium. Our meticulous approach ensured that Loop 60 is a product that seamlessly integrates excellence with sustainability.
The production and recycling processes of Loop 60 have earned the prestigious “OK Recycled” certification, meeting EN 15343 and ISO 14021 standards. This certification, issued by TÜV AUSTRIA and accredited by the National Accreditation System, attests to our dedication to transparent and consistent sustainable aluminium production and recycling practices.
Loop 60 is not just a product; it symbolizes the circular economy’s potential in the aluminium sector. With aluminium being 100% recyclable, Loop 60 exemplifies perpetual recycling without compromising efficiency or inherent properties. Our recent investments in sustainable development, such as the advanced aluminium scrap sorting and processing facility in the Kilkis Industrial Area, underline our commitment to producing premium-quality recycled aluminium.
The environmental impact of Loop 60 is profound:
95% less energy consumption: Secondary aluminium production from recycled material consumes significantly less energy compared to primary production, resulting in energy savings of up to 95%. This substantial energy efficiency improvement marks a significant stride towards sustainability in the aluminium industry.
76% fewer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions: Opting for Loop 60 reduces carbon emissions by over 76% compared to the global average for primary aluminium production. This stark contrast in greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage between primary and secondary aluminium production highlights the pivotal role of recycled aluminium in the circular economy and sustainable metallurgy solutions.
Choosing aluminium systems made from Loop 60 offers environmental benefits such as reduced energy consumption, lower demand for raw materials, and minimized waste generation. With Loop 60, we are one step closer to realizing our vision of enhancing people’s quality of life through high-performance aluminium systems crafted with an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.
