Focus on sustainability

Aluminium reaffirms its role as a pivotal material in sustainability. Its endless recyclability, preserved quality and increasingly energy efficient production methods, underscore aluminium’s significant contribution to advancing a more circular economy. Central to BOAL’s sustainability strategy is the offering of more sustainable solutions for aluminium profiles, including Low Carbon Aluminium and Recycled Content Aluminium.

BOAL BLUE Low Carbon Aluminium is characterised by a CO2e emission of 4 kg per kilogram of aluminium or less, well below the industry’s current average. BOAL BLUE Recycled Content Aluminium, containing over 50% recycled content, allows clients to meet increasingly stringent requirements set in various industries, while contributing to a more sustainable use of earth’s resources.

“The journey of aluminium from natural clay to a valuable metal highlights the endless possibilities of recycling and sustainability,” said Kjell Nilsen, Manager R&D at BOAL Extrusion. “BOAL BLUE is our testament to this journey, emphasising our dedication to not only advancing the industry but also protecting our planet for future generations.”

Diverse industry applications

BOAL BLUE’s introduction is timely, aligning perfectly with the increasing demand for sustainable materials and the evolving regulatory landscape around sustainability. BOAL BLUE is not just about reducing the carbon footprint; it’s about offering tangible, eco-friendly choices to industries seeking to lower their environmental impact and embrace sustainability without compromising on quality or performance.

The versatility of BOAL BLUE extends across every industry sector and each and every profile choice. This versatility not only demonstrates BOAL’s capability to meet the specific needs of its clients but also highlights its commitment to stringent environmental standards.
