2 Consider:

• Consider:
  • Reuse of aluminium curtain walling
  • Recycled aluminium which uses significant less energy to produce saving on CO₂ generation
  • Recycling aluminium with coatings:
  • There is a small financial difference in the value of scrap aluminium based on the presence of coatings or not
  • Melting of PPC, PVDF or PVF2 coated aluminium will burn off coatings and generate polluting emissions
  • Acid dipping of PPC, PVDF or PVF2 coated aluminium will create a sludge that is hazardous and expensive to dispose of
  • Scraping or sanding of PPC or PVDF or PVF2 coating from aluminium will create particulates that may be released to the atmosphere, or micro-plastics that if not collected thoroughly may find their way to drains or watercourses and eventually to the oceans.
  • Anodic oxide coatings being aluminium oxide does not generate the same residues and so simplifies recycling
  • Uncoated aluminium does not generate the same residues and so simplifies recycling
• Embodied Energy:
  • 97.1 Gj/t (twice that of steel) 138
• Substitute:
  • Recycled aluminium in place of virgin Aluminium to reduce energy consumed by 19/20ths  or 95%
• Value Engineer:
  • Scrap value: (at small quantities with non-specialist metal merchant Oct ‘07)
    • Unpainted/uncoated scrap aluminium: £1010.00/tonne
    • Painted/coated scrap aluminium £950.00/tonne
• Minimise: Use of virgin aluminium if recycled is available
• Avoid:
  • Aluminium made with high carbon energy sources
  • Excessive use of aluminium; whilst it is readily available in natural state aluminium ore or bauxite, it requires considerable energy to extract from ore, and fossil fuel energy generates CO₂
  • Coating aluminium: It reduces the value of scrap by a small margin.

4 Resourceful:

Resource Efficiency Issues:

Industry/Sector/Company Initiatives:

• Stewardship:
• The UK aluminium sector regards Stewardship too complicated and difficult to implement and would become too restrictive.
• Their sector cannot be any worse than the timber sector and Stewardship is well established whilst not comprehensive there yet.
• Metals Stewardship has been discussed at Eden Project and pursued with copper cladding materials.

Reduce:

• Use of Virgin Aluminium used
• Weight by using aluminium in preference to steel, but aluminium has high deflection compared to steel
• Less self-weight to carry may help reduce the size of sections to do a job

Reclaim:

• Dismantle for reclaim for reuse (build it with the right fasteners)
• Protect surfaces and sections from damage

Reuse:

• Reuse dismantled and reclaimed systems

Recycle:

• Recycled Aluminium uses 5% (1/20th) of the energy to make virgin aluminium

Recycling:

• Use recycled aluminium in preference to virgin aluminium, significant reduction in CO₂ generated in manufacture.
• Design for recycling:
• Avoid coatings as they are chemically intensive to remove and generate waste residues.
• Coated with PPC and PVF2 are slightly more difficult to remove than anodising
• Anodizing is an alloy of aluminium and is slightly more readily recycled
• Mill finish is most easy to recycle but not everybody likes the oxides that form on unfinished aluminium
• Mill finished aluminium reflects the colour of the sky: blue, white, grey or sunrise, sun and sunset
• Reflections off mill finish or silver coating can cause glare, distraction, overheating, migraine

Recover:

• Not Applicable

• Waste issues:
  • The energy used and CO₂ generated in making aluminium should not be squandered by allowing the metal to be landfilled.
