 What Is an Environmental Profile Report?

An Environmental Profile Report (EPR) offers a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of aluminium—from extraction to end-of-life recycling. These reports help manufacturers, architects, and policymakers understand the true ecological footprint of aluminium use.


 Key Highlights from Aluminium Environmental Data

  • Carbon Footprint: Recycled aluminium emits up to 95% less CO₂ than primary aluminium.
  • Energy Use: Modern European smelters have reduced energy use by 20–30% over the past two decades.

  • Circular Potential: ~75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today.


 Why It Matters for Construction & Manufacturing

Using aluminium with verified environmental data allows businesses to:

  • Meet green building certification standards (like LEED, BREEAM).

  • Achieve corporate sustainability targets.

  • Win public tenders that demand full EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) compliance.


 How Aluminium Producers Are Improving Sustainability

  • Investment in hydropower and solar-based smelting

  • Adoption of inert anode technology to reduce GHG emissions

  • Optimization of scrap collection and sorting across Europe
