SOLIDAL® Recycling  – Leading the Way in Dealing with Australia’s Cladding Waste Crisis
Solidal and GPSM Freight have joined forces to deliver a Recycling Solution to the flammable aluminium façade problem.
Responsibility to repurpose construction waste to avoid landfill can be an essential element of a sustainable building industry future.
SOLIDAL Recycling Aluminium has 5 steps :  1. Collection; 2. Separation & Sorting; 3. Crushing; 4. Remelting and 5. Casting
Solidal takes responsibility – It’s no longer somebody else’s problem. Other manufacturers may have created the ACP problem, but Solidal are stepping forward to take on the issue.
With other manufacturers facades becoming obsolete at a rate that never been seen before in building history, combined with difficult recycling processes caused by a design that did not anticipate the façade materials ‘End of use.’  Solidal creates your opportunity to close the loop of the facade supply chain for a more sustainable future, with an economical project-specific solution.
