Go Green Build Green

Almaxco continuously strives to improve its operations and production process to reduce its carbon footprint.

We do this by:

• Choosing to work with raw material suppliers who are certified and accredited with environmentally friendly practices.
• We prefer to work with raw material suppliers who are located within a 500 miles radius of our factory, so that we can reduce the emissions of CO2 from the transportation vehicles which deliver the raw materials to us.
• Embracing manufacturing processes that do not emit any greenhouse gases.
• Recycling all our waste production by selling our aluminium waste to special smelter plants who recycle the aluminum using environmentally friendly procedures.
• Recycling of waste water.
• Installing a regenerative catalytic thermal oxidizer on our paint coating lines to reduce the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) during the paint coating process.
• Using energy saver bulbs to light all areas of our manufacturing facility and administrative buildings.
• Using raw materials which are bio-degradable and non-toxic.

These may be just some small steps which we have consciously decided to embrace and we will always strive to implement more ways to reduce our impact on the world’s fragile environment.

At Almaxco, we strive to produce high-quality, environmentally sustainable products while upholding the best ethical business practices. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of product quality and customer satisfaction. Additionally, we invest in the upgrading of our employees’ skills to better serve the interests of all our stakeholders.

ACHIEVING OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

In-line Regenerative Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer (Paint Coating)

As part of our ongoing efforts to achieve our sustainability goals, we have invested in an In-line Regenerative Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer. This system reduces the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) during the coating process, which are known to contribute to ozone depletion.

A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an industrial process used to treat exhaust air. The system utilizes a bed of ceramic material to absorb heat from the exhaust gas and preheat the incoming process gas stream.

The basic operation of an RTO involves passing a hot gas stream over a heat sink material in one direction and recovering that heat by passing a cold gas stream through the same heat sink material in an alternate cycle. RTOs are used to destroy air toxics and VOCs discharged in industrial process exhausts.

WASTEWATER RECYCLING

During the degreasing process of aluminium coils, water and chemicals are used, resulting in acidic wastewater. We recycle this wastewater by subjecting it to a recycling process that neutralizes the pH content before it is reused in the degreasing process. The sedimentation, a by-product of the degreasing process, is removed by a specialist company that disposes of it in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Almaxco ACP is a verified product under the Ecospecifier Global Verified program. We are committed to producing environmentally sustainable products using recycled raw materials and embracing eco-friendly operations and production processes. Our Sustainability Program aims to implement our current environmental and sustainability goals while exploring new and even more environmentally friendly production and operational processes to increase the efficiency and overall sustainability of our business.
