Low Carbon Aluminum
Now more than ever, the ability to produce increasingly environmentally friendly products is what sets forward-thinking companies apart from those that are stagnating. Our minor-emissions facility in Lafayette, IN is a great example.
As a premium, low carbon aluminum extrusion manufacturer, we are among those who are looking to the horizon for newer, better ways forward. This includes making use of locally sourced aluminum, recycling post-consumer scrap metal, and making all extrusions right here in Lafayette, IN rather than importing them from overseas or sister Nanshan Aluminum facilities.
LOW CARBON
Manufacturing
Aluminum manufacturing practices that offer a low carbon footprint are the wave of the future as the fight against climate change continues. From the shipping of materials and finished products to our manufacturing methods, reducing emissions is just as important as producing the best quality aluminum extrusion products for our clients.
Scrap Recycling
It takes considerably less energy to produce aluminum from recycled scrap than to produce aluminum from raw, virgin materials. Using recycled material takes only 5% of the energy it takes using raw materials. At Nanshan America, our products contain 50% to 85% recycled materials, depending on availability and the alloy specifications of the product. This translates to cost savings for the consumer as well as significant environmental benefits from the more efficient process.
