“Due to the intense amount of energy required to create aluminium from raw materials, the need to recycle aluminium is extremely important to reduce our country’s energy consumption in creating this resource.” – PanelCycle

PanelCycle Bio (extracted from LinkedIn): We are pleased to offer a comprehensive solution for the responsible recycling of combustible ACP cladding that has been removed from buildings in Australia. Our team will expertly collect the materials from your site and transport them to our state-of-the-art facility. Our recycling process employs a specialized machine to shred the collected panels, and separates them into valuable aluminum and polyethylene powder. Thank you for considering our services and for prioritizing environmentally conscious practices.

AL Circle: How was the idea of PanelCycle materialised? What were the first concerns behind this initiative?              

PanelCycle: We were looking at doing recladding because of the current need to remove combustible cladding and found there was no feasible solution to recycle once the cladding was removed. We began researching how we could recycle the large volume of cladding with aluminium and PE composition and came up with a solution of how we could break down the cladding and separate the aluminium from the core.
