The innovative alkus® recycling concept
alkus® stands for future-ready construction – durable and resource-efficient recyclable.
Sustainability throughout the entire product lifecycle.
1. Production – conserving resources from the very beginning.
The alkus® AL formwork panel is made from just two base materials: polypropylene (PP) and aluminium
- Integration of regranulates from used panels Internal reuse of PP waste directly in the
- Internal reuse of PP waste directly in the production process
- Separation and return of aluminium to the production cycle
- Aluminium recycling rate over 60% – and rising
2. Usage phase – long-lasting and repairable
- Service life: > 20 years with proper use
- Material-identical repairs possible without loss of quality
- Significantly less need for replacement = lower material consumption
- Second life potential: used panels can be resold
3. End of life – not waste, but raw material
Valuable resources are preserved through material recovery:
- Integration of regranulates from used panels
- Aluminium: returned to aluminium production
- PP: reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle
