At EFKA, we are taking a major step towards sustainable entrepreneurship. Several of our profiles will soon be available in a version made from 100% post-consumer scrap aluminium: the most sustainable aluminium choice.

No leftover production waste, but genuinely recycled material. But what exactly does that mean? There’s a crucial distinction between two types of recycled aluminium:

• Post-consumer scrap is aluminium that has already served a previous purpose — in products such as textile frames, window frames, or cars. Once these products reach the end of their life cycle, the aluminium is collected, sorted, and remelted to begin a new life.
• Pre-consumer scrap refers to leftover material from manufacturing processes that never made it into a finished product. Although technically recycled, it contributes less to the circular economy.

At EFKA, we intentionally choose post-consumer scrap because it delivers the highest environmental benefit.

Our sustainable profiles have a carbon footprint of just 0.5 kg CO₂ per kg of aluminium – up to 95% less than the global average. To put this into perspective:

• EFKA’s recycled profiles: 0.5 kg CO₂/kg
• European extrusion (average): 6.9 kg CO₂/kg
• Global average: 14.8 kg CO₂/kg
