Our ECO Promise
Vision Profiles & Cortizo
both make it a priority to
be environmentally
friendly.
In 2021, MD Alan Grady and the management team made constructive changes to the footprint of the business to make our environmental impact as eco efficient as possible.
We started with installing solar panels to start producing our own source of energy.
Secondly, we’ve started the process of changing all company cars over to a fleet of electric cars - along with installing electric car chargers onsite - all powered by the new solar panels.
Vision Profiles are proud to work with a company that has such a strong sense of eco-responsibility as Cortizo.
Sustainability is a commitment made across all Cortizo activities and products, and by its more than 1500 employees.
With over 2,100 collection points across Europe, Cortizo provides its customers with an easily accessible way to deposit surplus aluminium profiles for recycling. A fleet of Cortizo recycling trucks collect the deposited aluminium and return it to the production centres to be smelted down and used again – making it 100% reusable and recyclable.
Cortizo Recycling
Each production centre has its own purifying plant to treat the residual water generated in the anodising and paint processes. The resulting slurry from the purification process is also specially treated to ensure the minimisation of any environmental impact. Following purification, the residues are used in the refractory ceramic industry, in cement blocks for construction, in iron and steel products, mineral insulation and asphalt blacktop.
