Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
Hueck Folien's products, which include label base material, surfaces for furniture and household appliances and security features for banknotes, are in demand worldwide. Given the importance of sustainability, the company has introduced a recycling loop for industrial aluminium scrap. From collection to melting and wire drawing, Hueck Folien is the first manufacturer to have an end-to-end supply chain for high-quality, recycled aluminium that is further processed in its products.
A sustainable future
At the beginning of November, the entire production process was converted to recycled aluminium. This switch enables a drastic reduction in the CO2 footprint. While the CO2 emissions for 1 kg of standard evaporation wire from Europe are 15 kg CO2 equivalent, the recycled aluminium wire introduced by Hueck Folien only emits 2.2 kg CO2e. This means that an impressive 85% of CO2 can be saved compared to the primary raw material.
Dr Martin Bergsmann, CEO at Hueck Folien, underlines the company's commitment to sustainability and explains that the introduction of recycled aluminium is a decisive measure on the way to ecologically neutral production by 2035.
