Promoting sustainable actions and reducing environmental impact is an aspect that companies should increasingly consider today. Adopting sustainable growth not only benefits the entire community but also enhances the company’s reputation. Interest in environmental and social issues is growing steadily, and more stakeholders consider these factors when evaluating companies. But how can companies promote more sustainable actions?

There are several steps companies can take to support more sustainable development. Improving processes, recycling systems, and reducing consumption are definitely among them.

Efficient Recycling of Non-Renewable Resources

The recovery of materials and recycling of non-renewable resources are increasingly important topics nowadays. Due to excessive consumption of raw materials, it is essential to focus on recovering recyclable materials to minimize environmental impact.

That’s why investing in efficient recycling lines can be a real turning point for our planet, as well as a profitable choice for companies.

Aluminum Recycling: A Resource of Infinite Value

Over the years, there has been a significant increase in products made from aluminum. This material, thanks to its many properties—it is a highly conductive, ductile, and malleable metal—can be used in countless applications: from packaging to automotive, electronics, furniture, and architecture.
But that’s not all.

Another fundamental characteristic of this metal is its great recyclability. Aluminum can be recycled an infinite number of times without losing its features and properties, bringing numerous benefits both for the environment and the company.

  • Environmental Benefits – Investing in aluminum recycling reduces CO₂ emissions by avoiding the extraction or production of new materials.
    It is estimated that recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy that would be required to produce new aluminum.
  • Benefits for Companies – Efficient aluminum recycling also brings numerous advantages to companies. Given aluminum’s properties, it is easy to imagine that interest in aluminum will continue to grow in the coming years, making recycling increasingly profitable. Moreover, efficient recycling involves the use of low-consumption machinery, which reduces recycling costs and optimizes processing times.

FOR REC Recycling Plants

FOR REC has supported companies for years in efficient material recycling. Thanks to its internal R&D team, it designs and develops high-performance customized machines for aluminum recycling.

Each plant is tailor-made according to the client’s needs, considering input materials, output requirements, available space, and company resources.

Each recycling line is designed to: select the material, reduce its volume, and create an output ready for new processing. All while minimizing consumption and processing time to maximize overall efficiency.

FOR REC Aluminum Recycling Lines: Power and Efficiency Become One

The aluminum recycling lines developed by FOR REC for the treatment of this metal include, among other machines:

  • Primary Shredder FX: a twin-shaft shredder used for volume reduction and the initial processing of ferrous and non-ferrous materials;
  • Z16 Hammer Mill: the new Z16 model features significantly larger dimensions compared to previous models and can process up to 16 tons per hour of electronic waste (WEEE) and metal scrap, ensuring superior performance;
  • XH Single-Shaft Shredder: designed to deliver high performance and productivity in the recycling of light metals and aluminum. Its reinforced structure and interchangeable plates with shock-absorbing bearings ensure simplified maintenance and increased operational reliability.

These industrial machines allow the processing of numerous types of aluminum products.

An industrial approach with a sustainable vision

FOR REC goes beyond supplying equipment: it offers a comprehensive, customized approach, where every project begins by listening to the customer and is developed through technical know-how, design flexibility, and continuous innovation.
The goal is to create solutions that not only optimize operations but actively contribute to more responsible resource management and a more sustainable future.
