Our recycling process

Collection and dismantling

The old aluminium units are dismantled and the glass is removed.

Shredding

The old aluminium profiles are shredded and loose foreign substances are removed.

Sorting and preparation

Shredded material is passed through sieves, magnets, air currents and x-ray methods until a very high degree of purity is reached.

Casting

In the foundries, the material is melted and cast into extrusion billets with a high recycled material content.

Schüco profile production

Extrusion plants extrude the billets to make new Schüco recycled profiles with the same quality as standard aluminium profiles.

We are A | U | F recycling partners and disposal specialists

RE:CORE partners are remunerated for the aluminium scrap they recycle. This remuneration is transparent and in line with the standard market indices.

RE:CORE provides advice for adaptive reuse projects during the early planning phase. The RE:CORE experts draw up project-specific concepts for an environmentally friendly and economical recycling process.

“Aluminium can be recycled an almost unlimited number of times with no loss of quality. RE:CORE is working to close the aluminium material cycle, keep materials in the construction sector and actively countering the growing shortage of resources.”
