Aluminium and sustainability

We encounter aluminium in our daily lives almost everywhere. It is used to package our food, can be found in sections of buildings and in our daily utilitarian objects such as furniture, bicycles and the smartphone. The production and processing of aluminium has, as with any industry, an impact on our environment. At Nedal we are aware that we need to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. And we’ll do that gladly.

Nedal certificate - ISO 14001

Nedal aluminium is ISO 14001 certified. This is a certificate for environmental management and sustainability. It is awarded to companies that actively and consciously contribute to a better environment. ISO applies strict criteria to sustainable production processes, checks whether companies comply with environmental legislation and monitors a company’s continuous improvement to their sustainability plan.

Aluminium is fully recyclable without loss of quality. All residual material from the manufacturing process is collected and brought to a smelter. There the residuals are remelted to new aluminium pieces, which we can once again use in our manufacturing process. In this manner, no resources are lost.

Nedal aluminium - keen on green

With the Keen on Green approach the manufacturing of the lighting columns has been redesigned to reduce CO2 emissions and save energy.

Nedal subscribes to the “Net zero carbon economy” objective.

To reduce the net CO2 footprint of the production of Nedal lighting columns to 0 kg CO2, the following measures have been taken:

Mandatory annual reduction of the CO2 footprint: at least 25% by 2030 compared to the reference year 2016.

The remaining emissions will be offset through participation in climate projects (carbon credits).

Products: All lighting, traffic and smart city masts produced by Nedal.

Scope: From raw material to transport to the customer

 

The masts are certified according to the Climate Neutral Certification standard. They obtained the Climate Neutral Certification mark after being approved by an independent auditor.
