Our commitment
Responsible
aluminium.

Aluminium is one of the most recyclable materials on earth. Banco's responsibility is to operate it that way: maximising recycled content, minimising energy intensity, controlling every emission, and providing our customers with the carbon data they need to meet their own sustainability commitments.

Four pillars

Our approach to
responsible aluminium.

Four integrated commitments: measured, certified, and reported. Not a policy document. An operating standard.

01

Scrap utilisation

Up to 50% pre and post-consumer scrap input, saving up to 95% of the energy required to extract and smelt primary aluminium. Green billet certification available on request.

Circular aluminium

Up to 50% recycled
scrap input.

Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without loss of properties. Banco's in-house foundry accepts up to 50% pre and post-consumer scrap as billet feedstock, validated by Spectro-OES chemical analysis on every melt. Recycling aluminium uses 95% less energy than primary smelting. Green billet certification is available for customers requiring documented recycled content declarations.

EU import compliance

CBAM documentation
available.

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requires importers to declare the embedded carbon in aluminium products from January 2026. Banco's CBAM-certified footprint of 0.203 kg CO₂e per kilogram is fully documented and available to support compliance for European customers.

Documentation covers the full production scope: foundry, extrusion, heat treatment, machining and surface finishing. It is calculated to EN 15804 methodology and ISO 14064-1 verified by an accredited third-party auditor.
