Sustainability is not a trend, but a market imperative. An increasing number of architects, investors, companies, and public institutions are demanding materials that meet strict technical and environmental standards. Emerus’ green aluminum delivers exactly that – high-quality profiles with minimal environmental impact.
What is green aluminum?
Aluminum, as a key raw material for the production of consumer goods, materials, and equipment, offers high resistance to corrosion and can be recycled repeatedly while retaining its quality and performance, simultaneously contributing to energy conservation and the reduction of CO₂ emissions.
Environmental standards and sustainable production
Green aluminum refers to aluminum produced using:
- a low carbon footprint,
- recycled content,
- energy from renewable sources.
The efficiency of recycled aluminum
Unlike primary aluminum, whose production accounts for the largest share of CO₂ emissions, recycled aluminum consumes only about 5 % of the energy required to produce aluminum from bauxite. This makes it one of the most sustainable materials on the market.
Emerus – sustainability through technology and measurement
The implementation of innovative technologies and state-of-the-art solutions, along with continuous monitoring in Emerus production facilities, ensures aluminum production with low carbon dioxide emissions and 100% renewable energy sources.
Recycling by the numbers
- 125–150 tons of aluminum waste are recycled monthly, accounting for about 15 % of total production.
- The recycled material is reintegrated into the production cycle through verified partners.
100 % renewable energy
- 35 % of energy comes from Emerus’ own 1 MW solar power plant.100 % renewable energy
- Presses are equipped with the PE Energy Saving system, reducing energy consumption by up to 25 %.
Measuring extrusion footprint – concrete results
- Emerus extrusion: 0.081 kg CO₂eq/kg
- European average: 0.7 kg CO₂eq/kg

Did you know?
One kilogram of recycled aluminum saves enough energy to power a TV for up to 3 hours. When multiplied by the thousands of tons of aluminum we recycle, it’s clear how small changes in the industry can have a huge impact on the environment.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions
What is ESG?
ESG refers to Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria that measure the sustainability of a business.
What are LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB?
They are the most important green building certification systems in the EU and worldwide. They provide a way to demonstrate that a project meets environmental and energy standards.
What is an EPD declaration?
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is an independently verified document that shows a product’s environmental impact – from raw material to the end of its life cycle.
What is CBAM?
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a new EU system that charges for CO₂ emissions on imported materials. Green aluminum helps you avoid these additional costs.
