Why Choose Recycled Aluminum for Your Construction Projects

Builders in the Philippines now choose greener materials. Recycled aluminum is a top choice. It is strong, light, and made with much less energy.

Superior Performance Characteristics

Recycled aluminum keeps the same useful properties as primary aluminum:

Structural Integrity

• High strength-to-weight ratio - Provides excellent structural performance while reducing building weight
• Corrosion resistance - Natural oxide layer protects against weathering and environmental damage
• Durability - Maintains performance characteristics for decades with minimal maintenance
• Flexibility - Excellent seismic performance in earthquake-prone regions like the Philippines

Design Versatility

Recycled aluminum allows flexible design:

• Complex extrusion profiles for curtain walls and window systems
• Custom shapes and sizes for architectural features
• Various surface finishes including anodizing and powder coating
• Integration with other building materials

Environmental Benefits

Using recycled aluminum lowers a project’s impact:

Carbon Footprint Reduction

• 95% less energy consumption compared to primary aluminum production
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions - Contributing to climate change mitigation
• Lower transportation impact - Local recycling reduces shipping distances

Resource Conservation

• Reduced mining impact - Less need for bauxite extraction
• Waste diversion - Keeping aluminum out of landfills
• Circular economy support - Contributing to sustainable resource cycles

Economic Advantages

It also helps the budget:

Cost Effectiveness

• Competitive pricing - Often more cost-effective than primary aluminum
• Reduced lifecycle costs - Minimal maintenance requirements
• Energy savings - Lower embodied energy reduces overall project costs

Local Economic Impact

• Supporting Philippine manufacturing and recycling industries
• Creating local jobs in collection, processing, and manufacturing
• Reducing dependence on imported materials

Applications in Philippine Construction

It works well in the Philippine climate:

Building Envelope Systems

• Curtain walls - Excellent performance in high-rise buildings
• Window frames - Superior weather resistance and thermal performance
• Cladding systems - Attractive, durable exterior finishes
• Roofing materials - Lightweight, corrosion-resistant solutions

Structural Applications

• Space frames - Large-span structures with minimal weight
• Architectural features - Decorative elements and facades
• Infrastructure components - Bridges, walkways, and public structures

Quality Assurance

OneSky Green Aluminum tests each batch to meet high standards:

Testing and Certification

• Comprehensive material testing for strength and composition
