The Rise of Aluminum as a Sustainable Material

Sustainability is one of the most important criteria in modern architecture. Aluminum stands out as a unique material in this context. The most important feature of aluminum is that it can be recycled 100% without losing its quality. This feature significantly reduces the need for natural resources and energy consumption.

The energy required to recycle aluminum is only 5% of the energy needed for its initial production. In addition, its lightness reduces transportation costs and carbon emissions. Its high resistance to corrosion ensures that buildings have a long life and reduces maintenance needs. For all these reasons, aluminum is considered one of the cornerstones of green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM, and its use in sustainable projects is increasing day by day.
