New: Sustainable aluminum profiles

Kirchen, May 19, 2022 - Sustainability - that doesn't just mean the climate, the quality of the air or the carbon footprint. It also means rethinking and breaking new ground. Picture frames made of aluminum are among the most popular frames because of their modern look. They make it possible to frame works of art in a discreet and restrained way and support their effect. Photographers and gallery owners in particular like to use aluminum magnetic frames for exhibitions. However, the production of aluminum from bauxite is very energy-intensive. On the other hand, aluminum can be recycled again and again with low energy input and without any loss of quality. But how can such a contribution to climate neutrality look like? From now on, all aluminum magnetic frames from HALBE (www.halbe-rahmen.de) will be made from sustainable aluminum profile of the brands NEWTAL® and Hydro REDUXA®. This is high quality aluminum with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.


Aluminum frames - versatile, simple and elegant

A home without pictures is almost unimaginable. Aluminum frames are enjoying ever-increasing popularity among artists, gallery owners, public institutions and private households. The elegant, timeless frames are suitable for a wide variety of pictures and photos. For example, colorful or pop artworks look perfect in a silver aluminum profile. The frame emphasizes the radiance of the picture while remaining discreetly in the background. But black and white photos or lithographs also take center stage in a fine black aluminum frame.

 

HALBE- Frames - using sustainable aluminum profiles

Aluminum is light, stable and robust - ideal conditions for an aluminum magnetic frame, which allows a quick and convenient picture change from the front. The production of aluminum from bauxite is energy-intensive and causes an average of around 16.7 tons of CO2 emissions per ton of primary aluminum worldwide - in China the figure is even higher due to the high proportion of fossil fuels. "We regularly check all raw materials with regard to their pollution and impact on the environment," says David Halbe, managing director of HALBE-Rahmen GmbH. "That's why we decided to only use sustainable aluminum profiles for the order-based production of our aluminum magnetic frames, which are pressed and coated in Germany."

 

Sustainable aluminum profiles - reduced carbon footprint with high quality

Aluminum can be recycled without compromising on quality. This process requires a fraction of energy as conventionally produced aluminum. As of now, HALBE-frames uses NEWTAL® recycled aluminum from Erbslöh Aluminium with a carbon footprint of only 2.7 t CO2 per ton and Hydro REDUXA® primary aluminum with a maximum carbon footprint of 4 t CO2 per ton of aluminum.

NEWTAL® achieves savings of approximately 14 t CO2 through the use of pre-consumer material in its own foundry and the use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower in its Icelandic aluminum plant. Hydro REDUXA® reports savings of approximately 12.7 t CO2 through the use of renewable energy sources and high-efficiency electrolysis technologies in manufacturing at its Norwegian aluminum plants. The figures relate to all direct and indirect emissions and correspond to a reduction of 76 and 84 percent respectively in CO2 emissions along the entire value chain.

 

HALBE Aluminum magnetic frames - sustainably stylish picture presentation

Sustainability is a dynamic process involving the responsible use of available resources. Renewable energies and recycled materials help take a step towards climate neutrality. "A magnetic frame made of sustainable aluminum profiles that bears our name remains a promise of quality that will delight art lovers for decades with its modern design, convenient framing from the front and high sustainable value," says David Halbe.

 

HALBE-Frames - Sustainability in Focus

Future needs a solid foundation in both raw material sourcing, processing and product delivery. "The durability of our magnetic frames, the careful selection of frame profiles and the order-based production at our headquarters in Rhineland-Palatinate are just a few examples of how rooted the basic idea of sustainability is at our company," emphasizes David Halbe. "We have adopted an extensive catalog of measures to reduce our carbon footprint. In recent years, investments have been made in modernizing production technology, among other things. Processed orders are padded in boxes made of recycled paper or cardboard. For years, shipping has been carried out exclusively with certified logistics service providers who compensate for CO2 emissions by investing in internationally recognized climate protection projects. In parallel, the installation of our own photovoltaic system on the company roof is planned."
