In the past few years, aluminium industry has increasingly emphasized the need to progressively reduce its environmental impact.

Speaking of sustainability, aluminium recycling is very important process given that this material can be 100% recycled and reused indefinitely to give life to new products every time. Another important issue is that aluminium does not lose its properties after recycling. But how is aluminium recycled? Cial website gives us some useful information to better understand this process.

Aluminium and sustainability: what do these words have in common? Why is aluminium called the green metal? Some useful information. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in Earth’s crust and bauxite ore is its main source. This material is: particularly light: about 1/3 that of copper or steel resistant to corrosion: when it corrodes a […]

Separate collection is the only way to recycle waste respecting the principles of sustainability. For this reason, the ​circular economy idea is the basis for a society focused on the concept of recycling. Recycling waste means to be sure that it’ll come back to the market in the form of a similar or different product […]

Consumers are demanding to industries to be more socially and environmentally responsible because the concept of sustainable packaging is becoming a higher priority for people.

A circular economy is an economic system based on three principles: reduce, reuse and recycle. In other words this new concept aims to reduce the input of virgin raw materials, reduce the amount of waste to landfill, and maximize the value and use of products and materials in circulation. In this way, we keep resources […]

Aluminium recycling is considered a sustainable process because the energy used by the recycling industry is 5% of the total energy used for the production of primary aluminium from the mines.

Thanks to its innumerable advantages, aluminium is widely used in food market by food containers manufacturers. In addition, we must not forget this material is 100% recyclable and retains its properties indefinitely: this characteristic makes it a sustainable material.

Aluminium’s properties make it the perfect material for food packaging.

#NoTasteToWaste is a new campaign presented by Contital about how aluminium can minimise food waste.
