Sustainability is Our Top Priority

Continuous innovation and environmental sustainability are essential to maintain our presence on the market and are the biggest challenge and opportunity of our time. Environmental concerns are inherently at the heart of our business, that’s why we aim to render recycling as accessible as possible to business and industries to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to helping the environment.

Recycling 1 ton of aluminum saves 6 tons of bauxite and 9 tons of CO2 emissions. Globally, the recycling of aluminum saves more than 100 million tons of CO2 every year.

Our Contribution to Environment

  • Since its inception, Blacklake have participated in the recycling of 50,000 tons of scrap metals, which corresponds to a reduction in CO2 emissions of around 450,000 tons.
  • This might be a drop in the ocean of possibilities, but we are proud and honored to do our part in saving the environment.
  • In this respect, we are working hard to improve our contribution as we take the reduction of CO2 emissions and the lowering of energy consumption as major benchmarks to measure the sustainable growth and the global impact of our company.

Recycling of copper requires 80-90% less energy than primary production. Globally, this saves 40 million tons of CO2 annually.
