ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY
The parent company of ALUCOBOND® is 3A Composites, which is known globally to strive continuously for environmental protection.
It has never been more important to protect the natural environment and preserve the planet for future generations. Therefore, 3A Composites is absolutely committed to ongoing self-improvement programmes – many of which go way beyond government’s ecological environmental regulations.
3A Composites strives to be a leader in this field and was one of the first companies to develop its own environmental management system, which is regularly assessed by independent auditors. The successful certification according to EN ISO 14001 speaks for itself.

ALUCOBOND® can be fully recycled. Both the core material and the aluminium cover sheets can be re-used to produce new material.
