Trends in culture or society can frequently have an effect on business, even if it seems unrelated at first. In some situations, the materials used to make market goods will change based on how they affect the world. In the past few years, standard and custom aluminum extrusion have become very popular because they help protect the environment. A lot of different fields use sustainable aluminum extrusions, such as marine, aerospace, transportation, lighting, public safety, building, design, infrastructure, and consumer goods. The use of aluminum in one-stop manufacturing shops like Silver City Aluminum in Taunton, Massachusetts, helps to lessen the damage that industry does to the environment as a whole.
What Does Sustainable Mean?
These days, the word “sustainable” is used a lot, just like “eco-friendly” or “environmentally-friendly.” While these words are used, not everything that uses them is actually eco-friendly or even long-lasting. When talking about natural resources, “sustainable” means to use them in a way that doesn’t hurt the environment. At Silver City metal, 99.9% of the metal they use is recycled. Besides that, aluminum is thought to be the most recycled metal in the world, and a lot of people are aware of this and try to recycle.
Aluminum can be reused or recycled over and over again without losing any of its useful qualities or properties. This makes it even more sustainable because it costs less to use and has less of an effect on the earth because it is remade so often. It is possible to cut down on post-extrusion processes with custom aluminum extrusion. This lowers the amount of work and energy needed to make a final part or product. It is better for the environment because the general process of making sustainable aluminum extrusions cuts down on trash, emissions, and byproducts that are made by other types of production.
Benefits of Custom Aluminum Extrusion
Even if protecting the earth from trash and pollution is not a top concern for you, there are still other reasons to use aluminum. Silver City Aluminum is a manufacturing and casting shop that does everything in one place. We work with our customers from the time they first come up with the idea for custom aluminum extrusion shapes or dies until the finished product is delivered. When working with standard or special aluminum extrusion, our highly trained and experienced workers can help our clients get the most out of their money. Make sure to ask about ways to make the custom shape for extrusion more resistant to corrosion through design and other choices that can be put right into the design.
Since 1888, more than a billion tons of basic aluminum have been made around the world, and about seventy-five percent of it is still being used. Around the world, recycling makes up about 35% of the metal that is made. Recycling metal only uses 5% of the energy that is needed to make it in the first place. When used in parts and goods for the transportation, marine, and aircraft industries, switching from other materials to aluminum can help cut down on carbon dioxide emissions, save energy, and lower fuel use. Studies on the environment have also shown that over the past twenty years, aluminum makers, such as those that do standard and custom aluminum extrusion, have slowly cut the amount of energy they use. This makes it even more environmentally friendly to use metal parts and items than before.
