Cortizo

Description

Manufacturer of aluminium and PVC systems for architecture, headquartered in Padrón (A Coruña) with its own foundry. It recycles aluminium on-site and incorporates recovered material into the production of new profiles, reducing the energy required compared with primary aluminium, whose remelting consumes only a fraction of that required by original electrolysis. It is the major Spanish benchmark in the aluminium joinery sector. Specific environmental documentation is yet to be verified.

Why we chose it

Because it closes the aluminium loop in its own foundry: remelting consumes a fraction of the energy of primary aluminium.
