In 2018, hydro introduced the new circular 75r aluminum alloy. This alloy consists of at least 75% of post consumer waste, including waste from exterior walls and windows removed from buildings. Hydro fully recycles these wastes and implements the development model of circular economy.
Circular 75r alloy is one of the materials with the highest post consumption waste in the market. The higher the amount of waste recycling after consumption, the lower the carbon footprint associated with the life process, thus ensuring that Hydro's customers are in a unique advantageous position.
EGIL hogna, President of hydro extrusion solutions business, said: "our building structure customers are constantly seeking more sustainable solutions. In the process of coping with one of the * formidable challenges facing our times, we hope to take the lead."
At present, Hydro's building system brand technal and wicona have signed the first batch of contracts, involving hundreds of tons of aluminum materials.
In Kuwait, hydro provided aluminum walls for a large-scale government project. Meanwhile, hydro also signed a medium-sized project using circular 75r with Germany, France, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Norway.
What these customers have in common is that they have very high requirements for sustainability, which is triggered by regulations and green building rating projects. Using circal75r alloy, hydro has filled this blank market.
Hydro is one of the most sustainable enterprises in the aluminum industry. With the integration of extrusion solutions in 2017, hydro has become one of the key players in the global construction industry. The building systems business department of hydro involves its brands wicona, technal and Sapa. Circular 75r is only one of many measures to achieve the goal of sustainable development. Hydro also has optimized measures and also involves the renewable energy industry.
Hydro provides high-quality recycled aluminum products, and at the same time, the amount of renewable post consumption waste in the products is not less than 75%. The production process of hydro is fully traceable, and the products are certified by an independent third party (dnv-gl).
According to the EU sustainable development goals, all new buildings in the EU must achieve zero carbon emissions by 2030, and all buildings must achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050. With the imminent climate crisis and stricter regulation, the aluminum industry needs to make adjustments. With circular 75r, hydro promotes builders and architects to achieve * high sustainable development goals.
