Inox, Sustainable & 100% Recyclable

Inox is an extremely durable material with numerous properties that contribute to its long lifespan and environmental friendliness. Here are some reasons why inox is considered sustainable:

1. Corrosion Resistance

  1. Rust Resistance: Inox is resistant to rust and corrosion, meaning it does not easily degrade when exposed to humid or aggressive environments. Inox can be used "bare" and does not require coating layers.

2. Extremely Long Lifespan

  1. Wear Resistance: It retains its structural integrity and aesthetics even under intensive use, contributing to the longer lifespan of products. This is due to the unique composition of the material. Thanks to its high chromium content, it is resistant to rust, corrosion, and oxidation, keeping it in top condition even in demanding environments. Depending on conditions and surroundings, the material can last from ten to even hundreds of years.

3. Strength

  1. High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Inox is strong and robust, meaning products made from this material can withstand heavy loads and wear.

4. Recycling and Environmental Impact

  1. Fully Recyclable: Inox is 100% recyclable without any loss in quality. This means it can be reused to create new products, reducing the demand for new raw materials. At Alinco, we sort around ten separate metal streams. An inox container, for example, that is roughly 100 years old can simply be remelted for new use over the next several decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years. 😊
    Low Environmental Impact: The production process of inox is relatively eco-friendly, and recycling inox uses less energy than producing new material.

5. Application Possibilities

  1. Versatility: Inox is used in a variety of industries, including construction, the food industry, the pharmaceutical sector, and household applications. The versatility of inox contributes to the durability of products, as it is suitable for many different environments and applications.

Conclusion

Inox is a highly durable material offering numerous benefits in terms of lifespan, ease of maintenance, and environmental friendliness. It is an excellent choice for applications where durability, hygiene, and aesthetics are of great importance. At Alinco, we utilize these properties to deliver high-quality, sustainable products that meet the highest standards.

The other materials we work with (steel, aluminum) are also 100% recyclable; old material is simply remelted and made into new.
