What launched, and when
ALUEUROPA published its debut set of product‑specific EPDs in September 2025. Two declarations cover recycled aluminium ingots used to cast billets for extrusion, verified under the International EPD System. The launch month matters because it puts fresh, recognized documentation in front of specifiers right now, not a promise for later (EPD International, 2025).
The products covered
The first wave spans two recycled lines. RE‑HYBRID reports 90 percent recycled content with billets produced in 178 mm and 203 mm diameters. RE‑LUX declares 100 percent post‑consumer content at the same diameters, aimed at projects chasing deeper carbon cuts. Both sit under EN 15804+A2 using the Construction Products PCR, with the LCA credited to Marcel Gómez Ferrer as practitioner (EPD International, 2025). For the recycled shares and sizing see the operator files for RE‑HYBRID and RE‑LUX, which confirm the specifics (EPD International, 2025; EPD International, 2025).
Why this is commercially relevant
On many projects, no EPD means conservative default factors that make a product look heavier in carbon. A current, program‑operator EPD replaces assumptions with verified numbers, which keeps ALUEUROPA in play without price‑only comparisons. It also helps teams document recycled content claims in a way reviewers can accept on the first pass.
Program operator and credits
These EPDs are published with the International EPD System, a globally recognized operator that specifiers in Europe and beyond check routinely. If you want a primer on why that logo travels well across markets, see our explainer on the operator itself (International EPD System profile). LCA practitioner credit on the files lists Marcel Gómez Ferrer.

ALUEUROPA in brief
Spain‑based ALUEUROPA manufactures aluminium ingots and extruded profiles for building and industrial uses, serving façade and window system supply chains alongside other sectors. That positioning makes recycled ingot EPDs especially useful, because billet choices ripple into downstream system footprints that architects now compare side by side.
Competitor snapshot, through the EPD lens
If we look at peer materials, several heavyweights already carry operator‑verified EPDs for aluminium ingots. Hydro lists extrusion‑ingot EPDs for European plants under the EPD‑Global registry, covering direct sales to extruders in multiple locations (EPD‑Global, 2025). EGA publishes a standard aluminium ingot EPD with the International EPD System that buyers can cite in global projects (EPD International, 2025). Aluminium Bahrain also shows a current ingot EPD at IES, reinforcing that ingot‑level transparency is becoming normal in sourcing decisions (EPD International, 2025). Translation, ALUEUROPA has caught the train and can now compete with proofs that peers already bring to prequalification.
A quick nuance on data maturity
The operator files note that these products were not yet in the market at the time of modeling, which can increase uncertainty until a full year of production data is available. Early‑cycle EPDs are common in metals, and they still remove the biggest barrier in specs, but plan a data refresh once the reference year closes to keep confidence high (EPD International, 2025).
Can we find the EPDs on their website
Yes. ALUEUROPA hosts the EPDs in its downloads, including RE‑HYBRID in English and RE‑LUX in Spanish. Those links help sales teams share proof fast without hunting through registries. Here are the direct files: RE‑HYBRID EPD, EN, RE‑LUX EPD, ES. If more languages appear, place them on a single sustainability page so specifiers can bookmark once and return often.
Speed to directory still matters
These EPDs went live in September 2025. Today is March 29, 2026, which is well past two weeks. There is often a delay of weeks to months between an operator issuing an EPD and that file surfacing in the global tools buyers check. Reducing that lag can be the difference between being shortlisted or being overlooked. If a future release needs to be listed in a day or two, reach out and we can share practical steps.
The takeaway
ALUEUROPA just moved from promise to proof. With recycled‑content ingot EPDs in hand, it can meet specifier requests head‑on and join peers already competing on verified data. The transparency arena is crowded, but the rules are clear, and this is a solid first step that definately raises their game.
