At Panelox, we prioritize sustainability by minimizing environmental impact through responsible resource management, innovative processes, and energy efficiency, ensuring our operations support long-term ecological balance and community well-being

Overview

  • Dual layer anodising
    Dual layer anodising

    By using two anodising layers, matt or gloss and an etched design, we are able to create unique designs compared to competitive anodising techniques. We provide the ability to choose one or two colors combined with your own custom design.

  • Cost efficiency

Sustainability at Panelox: Closing the Loop with Aluminum

Sustainability at Panelox: Closing the Loop with Aluminum

While the initial process of extracting and refining aluminum requires significant energy, aluminum remains one of the most sustainable materials available. It is lightweight, durable, and has a lifespan that far exceeds most other materials used in construction. Remarkably, about 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today, due to its infinite recyclability without quality loss. This long life cycle, combined with its corrosion resistance and ability to reflect heat, makes aluminum an ideal choice for creating energy-efficient, long-lasting buildings.

  • Anodizing = Al₂O₃ = 100% reusable
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant and colourfast
Product Manufacture: Precision and Responsibility

At Panelox, the journey of each aluminum panel begins with precise craftsmanship and innovation. Using our unique double-anodizing process, we create highly durable, UV-resistant, and aesthetically refined panels that meet the strictest environmental standards. By minimizing waste and optimizing resources during production, we ensure that each panel contributes to a sustainable future. Our manufacturing process is designed not just to meet but to exceed environmental regulations, with the goal of producing materials that align with both architectural beauty and ecological responsibility.

Aluminum’s lightweight yet durable nature makes it a superior material for building facades, particularly in urban environments. Once installed, Panelox® panels require little maintenance, providing architects with a sustainable option that contributes to the energy efficiency of buildings. The UV-resistant properties of our anodized surfaces ensure that the panels maintain their appearance and performance for decades, reducing the need for replacement and upkeep, and thus lowering the environmental impact over the life of the building.

End of Product Life: A Circular Approach to Sustainability

End of Product Life: A Circular Approach to Sustainability

When a building or structure reaches the end of its life, Panelox® panels remain as valuable as the day they were first installed. Unlike many other materials, aluminum does not degrade during recycling, meaning every Panelox® panel can be fully recycled without any loss of quality. This closed-loop recycling process allows the material to be reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle endlessly, minimizing waste and reducing the need for new raw materials. By promoting a circular economy, Panelox® plays a vital role in supporting long-term sustainability in the construction industry.

Scrap Processing & Recycling: An Infinite Loop of Reusability

Scrap Processing & Recycling: An Infinite Loop of Reusability

Aluminum is one of the few materials that can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of integrity. This means that even after decades of use in buildings, Panelox® panels can be melted down, reprocessed, and reused in new applications. The recycling process uses only 5% of the energy required to produce primary aluminum, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Today, an estimated 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use, and with every recycled panel, Panelox® continues to contribute to this remarkable cycle of sustainability.
