SUSTAINABILITY
At Alucan we are faithful to our values and principles, developing our business in a sustainable way. For this reason, we work to improve our activity, using energy sources that are more respectful of the environment. Therefore, we work in 4 environmental areas:
The product
We not only propose a 100% recyclable and ecological product, but we also use aluminum that is 25%, 50% and 100% recycled at the request of our customers. The recycled aluminum used is PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled), it comes from the packaging used by consumers (recovered, washed and crushed to return to the production process).
Aluminum has the most important impact on the carbon footprint; therefore, we also use new alloys to reduce the thickness of the walls of our packages and lower the weight of aluminum to make them more sustainable

Facilities and utilities

The contracted electricity that Alucan consumes is electricity from renewable energy sources and high-efficiency cogeneration.
The implementation of effective management systems and continued investment in clean technologies.
Production
The conviction that the future of the company depends on the responsible use of natural resources, we involve each of our employees and collaborators, using more and more recyclable material both in offices and in the plant and production, going to the elimination of plastic consumption (glasses, bottles, cutlery, packaging).
Improving the efficiency of resources in our operations and reducing waste is at the core of our manufacturing processes. Reducing our carbon footprint brings us benefits in lowering our costs and in the packaging supply chain.
Our production facility is ISO 14001 certified.
Transport
The maximum occupation of trucks and packages to reduce CO2 emissions for a more sustainable transport.
The use of more environmentally friendly packaging (Kraft paper, recycled cardboard, reused pallet and returnable separators).
The carbon footprint of transporting aluminum bottles is 20% lower than that of glass bottles.
