Descubre las acciones sostenibles de Extrugasa
Extrugasa pone en marcha un camino de crecimiento y de transformación de la infraestructura industrial, con acciones sostenibles que buscan reducir la huella de carbono al disminuir la emisión de CO2 que genera la empresa.
Esta transformación gira en torno a un modelo de Economía Circular y a medidas adaptadas a los procesos productivos y a la materia prima con la que fabricamos las soluciones en aluminio.
Todos nuestros procesos están garantizados y certificados bajo la Declaración Ambiental de Producto (DAP).
With 30,000 m2 of solar panels
Our photovoltaic self-consumption installation is 2.2 MW, making it one of the largest installations in the country.
- Generate 25% of the company’s energy demand.
- We avoided the emission of 932 tons/year of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to planting 93,000 trees in the region.
- Vision of the future: to generate an energy storage system that increases the percentage of renewable energy consumption.
Treating industrial wastewater with the WWTP
To manufacture our aluminum profiles, we need to consume a large amount of water. For this reason, we have a Wastewater Treatment Plant, more than 25 years old, renovated and modernized that allows us to deal with the treatment of all industrial wastewater resulting from our production processes.
- From these processes sludge derives, which we also take to external plants where they are treated, giving a second life of fertilizer use.
- We reuse 15% of the treated water for the closed water circuits of our production processes
- Once industrial wastewater has been cleaned and purified, it is used to irrigate our environment, obtaining a flora free of residues.
Recycling with the Foundry
In our foundry plant we have a horizontal casting for the recycling of aluminum scrap.
- In our foundry plant we have a horizontal casting for the recycling of aluminum scrap.
- Our Purpose
- Closing the Circle: Scrap → Raw Material → Production → Product
- Independence through self-consumption, avoiding the use of raw materials from the first melt.
- Providing sustainable service and product to our customers
- Lower the carbon footprint
- Features
- High production capacity, with an estimated production of 4,000 kg/hour, about 30,000 tons per year
- Allows you to melt raw aluminum scrap.
- It allows the manufacture of a homogeneous recycled aluminium billet with high quality standards.
Sustainable machine concept
Aluminum recycling
- High energy efficiency, as it has a system of regenerative burners that leads to energy savings of 40% compared to others. These burners convert the gases from the melting process into energy that will then be used in other phases of the process.
- It complies with European emission regulations, as it emits particles below 5 ppm.
