Specialist aluminium fabricator CDW Systems has partnered with Alutrade, the largest and most established independent aluminium recycling company and extrusion specialist in the UK.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards CDW Systems’ commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices in its operations to reduce its carbon footprint.
Alutrade, a leading expert in sustainable aluminium scrap recycling, recycles in the region of 30,000+ tonnes of metal at its Midlands aluminium recycling plant every year.
CDW’s Group Chairman Jeremy Phillips, said: “We are thrilled to join hands with Alutrade as part of our commitment to more sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. By turning to Alutrade we can ensure that our aluminium scrap and off-cuts are kept within the industry and processed efficiently and sustainably.
“It also means a more traceable way of dealing with everything we have that can be recycled and allows us to minimise waste generation, conserve valuable resources, and contribute to a greener future.
“Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, and by working together, we can ensure that the lifecycle of this valuable resource is maximised, benefiting both the industry and the environment.”
The Gloucester-based CDW, part of the East Manor Group, has been taking huge steps to enhance its sustainability credentials, including working closely with Technal, one of its main profile suppliers and part of the Hydro Group. Last year the group, which also includes double glazing specialists Clearway Doors & Windows, ordered 44 tonnes of Circal 75R, Hydro’s high quality 75% recycled aluminium profiles, helping to saving 378 tonnes of CO2 emissions in the process.
Jeremy added: “As an aluminium fabricator committed to sustainability, we are doing everything we can for the planet and helping the glazing industry become more sustainable.”
Established in 1992, CDW Systems is one of the UK’s longest running aluminium specialists in the trade supply of aluminium window, door, and curtain wall products. For more information visit www.cdwsystems.co.uk or call 01452 414853.
