Aluminium has an important role to play as the world transitions to a low-carbon economy. The metal is light, durable, corrosion-resistant, ductile and easily recyclable. These inherent qualities make it suitable for a wide range of applications including building and construction materials.

Already the second most widely used metal globally after steel, aluminium currently accounts for nearly 4% of global GHG emissions, with 80% of that contributed by the energy-intensive aluminium smelting process.

With global aluminium demand projected to grow by more than 50% by 2050, the industry is looking for ways to reduce its environmental impact.

International aluminium company Hydro is leading efforts in recycled aluminium and low-carbon aluminium. Through the use of renewable energy and recycled consumer scrap, Hydro creates alloys and products that help its customers on their path to zero emissions.

Safetyline Jalousie’s commitment to fighting climate change along with the desire to be a part of the solution is the major motivation for launching Hydro REDUXA in Australia.

Thanks to modern technology and the use of renewable energy from hydro, wind and solar power, Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows can now be supplied with an aluminium that is cleaner than ever before.

Hydro REDUXA is guaranteed to have generated a maximum 4.0 kg CO₂ per kg of aluminium produced – one-quarter of the global average. Hydro’s product line 4.0 covers all carbon emissions from bauxite mining and alumina refining to the production of aluminium in electrolysis and casting.
