AluK is proud to announce that three of its aluminium building systems – SL50, C67K and C77K – have achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze – Full Scope for its European Business Units, reinforcing the company’s commitment to circular product design and responsible manufacturing.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® is one of the world’s most rigorous, science-based certification standards for sustainable products. Achieving Full Scope certification means that the entire system – including profiles, components, surface treatments and associated materials – has been assessed across the full product lifecycle and value chain.
What the certification evaluates
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® framework assesses products across five core categories:
» Material Health – assessment of chemical composition and elimination of substances harmful to human health and the environment
» Material Reutilisation – product design for circularity, recyclability and contribution to closed material loops
» Renewable Energy & Carbon Management – energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact
» Water Stewardship – responsible water management and protection of water resources
» Social Fairness – respect for human rights and fair labour practices across the supply chain
Achieving the Bronze level confirms that AluK systems meet verified requirements in all five categories, supported by transparent documentation and third-party validation.
A step forward in circular construction
This certification demonstrates that AluK systems are designed to support:
» high recyclability of aluminium, leveraging its infinite reuse potential
» responsible sourcing and material transparency
» improved environmental and social performance, aligned with ESG expectations and EU sustainability objectives
Part of a long-term sustainability strategy
Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze – Full Scope represents an important milestone within AluK’s broader sustainability roadmap. It confirms the progress made while laying a solid foundation for continued improvement in circularity, carbon reduction and sustainable innovation.
AluK would like to thank its internal teams and external partners whose technical expertise, collaboration and commitment made this achievement possible.
AluK remains committed to delivering high-performance aluminium systems with sustainability at their core.
