100% recyclable

MondoClad ® solid aluminium is manufactured from more than 30% recycled material and is supplied as a pre-finished panel, being 100% recyclable at end of use. The paint is applied in a continuous process before the aluminium is fabricated into panels. This minimises the need for additional transportation compared to using a powder coating process.

PVDF Coating

PVDF coating, a 'closed loop' process, efficiently uses its curing ovens to burn and repurpose harmful VOCs as fuel, reducing energy use and pollutants. Composed of a fluoropolymer, acrylics, pigments, catalysers, and additives, PVDF's water-insoluble nature prevents groundwater contamination, and its environmentally neutral particles pose no harm. UV radiation can break down the surface acrylic, minimizing environmental impact.

Recyclability

Aluminium is entirely recyclable, maintaining its quality without degradation. Recycling it uses merely 5% of the initial energy and produces only 5% of the greenhouse gases compared to new production. This efficiency is why around 75% of all aluminium ever made is still in circulation.

Recycling aluminium brings economic and environmental benefits, conserving natural resources, reducing environmental impact, and easing landfill stress.

Lifetime of Service

A Lifetime of Service Aluminium building products are made from alloys that are weatherproof, corrosion-resistant and immune to the harmful effects of UV rays, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Perhaps one of the most famous examples of aluminium’s durability is the dome of San Gioacchino ai Prati Castello Church in Rome. Clad in aluminium sheets in 1898, today, more than 100 years later, it’s still in pristine condition.

Certifications:

PHD (Product Health Declaration) : Product Health Declaration discloses chemical hazards in products used in workplaces and in homes. It is formally recognised by the Green Building Councils - Green Star rating tools.

Green Rate: GreenRate uses an ecolabel system and assesses exactly how and from what each product is made. This rates the product's overall health and environmental impact, while also examining other criteria like local sourcing, ethical labour and supply chain principles
