The leading firm in the design and manufacture of aluminium and PVC systems, Cortizo, and the multidisciplinary firm AIC Equip reaffirm their commitment to sustainable architecture by establishing the Infinity Partner alliance, a seal that distinguishes the leading developers, companies and studios that promote the use of reusable materials and seek to reduce the carbon footprint in construction processes.

‘All our efforts are aimed at ensuring the highest quality service, thus achieving the satisfaction and success of our clients and, therefore, our own. Having a material such as Infinity allows us to contribute to a greener and more efficient building. In the sector, the trend is clearly towards the use of materials that are environmentally friendly and that also offer us the possibility of reducing CO2 emissions,’ says AIC Equip’s Business Director, Luis Novalbos.

It is important to highlight the recognition of Cortizo Infinity as a symbol of sustainable architecture. The billet is manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled aluminium from scrap collected from windows, doors, facades, railings and other products. This process is certified by Bureau Veritas and has just received the Environmental Product Declaration, which guarantees a reduction in emissions and energy savings in the production process. The use of Infinity not only contributes to minimising the carbon footprint, but also allows access to certifications such as LEED, BREEAM and VERDE.

‘Infinity has become an icon of construction that focuses on circularity and the reduction of the environmental impact of the building process’, says Daniel Lainz, Cortizo’s general manager of Architecture, claiming aluminium as “the best ally for a building that respects the planet”. Lainz also recalls that this material ‘can be recycled infinitely without any loss of its properties’, providing ‘outstanding scores’ in projects that aspire to the aforementioned green certifications.

Both AIC Equip and Cortizo agree on the importance of continuing to work in this direction ‘by focusing on the optimisation of resources and the use of sustainable materials’. They also encourage all agents in the sector to ‘join the change’ by working hand in hand to ‘promote and strengthen a greener and more ecological architecture’.
