During the visit, the educators got a firsthand look at IDALSA‘s aluminium recycling and casting process. This highly specialized and sustainability-focused process involves collecting aluminium scrap, melting it at high temperatures, and creating green aluminium ingots. These ingots are then distributed to various industrial sectors for the manufacture of components.

The tour was led by IDALSA staff, who provided the teachers with a detailed overview of the different stages of the production process, from the selection of recycled materials to the quality control of the final product. Additionally, IDALSA representatives highlighted the importance of having skilled technicians for the operation and maintenance of the machinery and furnaces used in the process.

Committed to environmental sustainability and resource optimization, IDALSA serves as an exemplary model for future generations of technicians. Its business model, based on material revalorization, helps reduce environmental impact and promotes the development of a sustainable industry and circular economy—a model that the teachers from Pedrola can pass on to their students in the classroom.

With this visit, IDALSA reinforces its commitment to education and positions itself as a valuable option for IES Siglo XXI students to develop their professional careers.

In the current context, where awareness of environmental and climate challenges is increasing, reducing carbon emissions has become an urgent priority. From the industry to the shared mobility sector, companies are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint and actively contribute to a more sustainable future. During this event, various companies, including IDALSA, gathered to exchange experiences, successes, and challenges in implementing projects aimed at reducing their carbon emissions. From innovative technological solutions to resource management strategies, the event, held in collaboration with Siemens and Ibercaja, provided a detailed insight into these organizations’ commitment to combating climate change and towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

IDALSA highlighted the significant contribution of recycled aluminium in reducing the carbon footprint, both in its manufacturing process and as a replacement for primary aluminium, throughout the entire lifecycle of products made with this material.
