A U F e.V.

Recycling system for aluminium window and façade systems

The purpose of the A|U|F is to promote the disposal and recycling of construction components and profiles, such as aluminum windows, doors and facades for the purpose of reuse the materials in a closed recycling cycle.

 

Product description

The aim is, in cooperation with the A|U|F members, to achieve a closed recycling cycle in which the aluminum components processed by our members are completely withdrawn at the end of their life cycle via the circuit organized by A|U|F. The material remains within the European Community and its circulatory system; there is no export outside of Europe. From a dismantled aluminum window, door or facade part a new aluminum profile is created with only 5% of the needed energy for primary aluminum. This protects the environment, the population as well as the costs and contributes to the strengthening of the economic area of Europe.

The A|U|F stands for sustainability and taken responsibility.
