The manufacturing industry has developed greatly in the last few years to opt for clean energies that align with the values of today’s consumers. By implementing and devising alternatives to the burning of fossil fuels, this industry is growing in establishing the possibility of sustainable growth. Here at Alucan, we are proud pioneers within the aluminum production industry, as we continuously review our practices and processes to ensure we are up to date with the latest sustainable developments. Our company was founded upon values of sustainability and innovation, as one of our focuses is, of course, the use of environmentally friendly energy resources that challenge the status quo of traditional manufacturing processes. Opting for these energy sources not only improves our activity, and ensures that we sell a sustainable product that is also produced sustainably, but protects the future of manufacturing and consumption. Our R+D team works consistently to find innovative alternatives to our most impactful activities. Some of the ways in which we push for clean energies and technologies are:
- The contracted electricity that Alucan consumes is electricity from renewable energy sources and high-efficiency cogeneration.
- We implement effective management systems and continue to invest in clean technologies. For example, we have recently introduced a system through which we can collect rainwater to then use in our production.
- Our newest plant in Lummen features solar panels that will provide great quantities of energy for our processes.
- We work to improve the efficiency of resources in our operations and prioritize reducing waste by finding innovative ways in which to repurpose our resources. Our latest investment in heat exchangers means we will be able to repurpose the heat of our ovens to heat the water necessary throughout production.
We work to make sustainable development a reality. Our push for renewable energy sources and clean technologies makes us pioneers in our industry. Alucan creates at your service.
