Circular aluminum from E-MAX: The green revolution in profile technology

Producing high-quality circular aluminum seems like a huge challenge, but for our partner E-MAX, it's become a specialized field. With over 30 years of experience and in-depth expertise in anodizing, powder coating, and surface treatment, they specialize in casting and extruding circular aluminum. But what makes this method so revolutionary for our climate?

Four classes of aluminum production

Aluminum can be produced in various ways, ranging from the classic method using fossil fuels to the innovative circular method. E-MAX's circular approach results in aluminum with a recycling rate between 50% and 85%, and even a premium version that far exceeds 85%. With this, they set the standard for the future of the metal industry.

The impact on our carbon footprint

Choosing circular aluminum has a huge positive impact on our environment. By focusing on reuse, we achieve:

95% less energy consumption when extracting raw materials.

No impact on the landscape due to the prevention of bauxite mining.

97% recyclability of the material after use.

10 times lower carbon footprint than conventionally produced aluminium.

The CO2 emissions of this circular aluminium are now comparable to materials such as steel, PVC and even wood, making it an extremely sustainable choice for the construction sector.

Limitless possibilities in profiles

E-MAX offers a wide range of hollow and solid profiles with extensive geometric possibilities. Whether standard profiles or customized solutions, the mechanical qualities and surface finishes are top-notch. With post-processing services such as sawing, anodizing, and powder coating under one roof, the entire chain is optimally managed.

Ready for the Green Deal of 2030

E-MAX's mission is clear: green growth. While Europe prepares for the coming decades, E-MAX is already ready to meet the 2030 targets. At System Flex, we are proud of our partnership with this sustainable pioneer. Together, we strive for a CO2-neutral construction sector and a healthy living environment.
