“PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT TODAY ENSURES A BETTER TOMORROW”
Committed to environmental protection
Magnesio & Metal is strongly committed to environmental protection and sustainable development, hence the use of magnesium alloys.
The main environmental characteristics of magnesium are:
- 100% Ecological
- 100% Recyclable
- The magnesium recycling process consumes only 5% of the energy required to obtain the same amount of raw magnesium material.
- Magnesium is the seventh-most abundant element, constituting about 2% of the earth’s crust and the third-most abundant element dissolved in seawater.
- Magnesium ion is essential for all living cells.
- Pure metal is not found in nature. Once produced from magnesium salts, this alkaline earth metal is used as the alloying element.
Committed to environmental protection
The commitment to the environment is a key objective in the scope of the corporate social responsibility of Magnesio & Metal Therefore, we work to minimize the environmental impact of our activities and we encourage all our employees to participate in achieving this objective.
At Magnesio & Metal, we actively protect the environment :
- Production processes designed to minimize the impact on the environment:
- Full recyclability of waste and residues from the manufacturing process: in the casting stage, a certain proportion of magnesium scrap from the previous casting process is melted together with the raw material ingots. The process residues from subsequent machining operations (chips, deburring, dust, etc.) are sold on the market as by-products. We thus obtain a closed cycle of raw material recycling.
- Permanent controls of our industrial processes.
- Efficient energy management: Use of waste heat from the furnaces by means of heat exchangers to heat the installations.
- Treatment of our wastewater.
- Selective waste collection and the specific management of some of it through an authorized waste manager.
