100% Recycled Low-Carbon Aluminum Profile

TOSTEM’s Commitment to Carbon Reduction Through “PremiAL” Low-Carbon Aluminium Profiles.

  TOSTEM is advancing its group-wide commitment to achieving net-zero CO₂ emissions across all production processes, products, and services by the year 2050. In line with this mission, the innovative low-carbon aluminium profile series “PremiAL” was developed as part of our broader environmental initiatives. This article introduces the unique features and benefits of PremiAL, along with the technical expertise and production commitment of TOSTEM Thai’s manufacturing facilities.

PremiAL: Low-Carbon Aluminum Profile with CO₂-Reducing Properties

  TOSTEM Thai manufactures and supplies two types of low-carbon aluminium profiles:TOSTEM Thai manufactures and supplies two types of low-carbon aluminium profiles:

• PremiAL R70, made with over 70% recycled aluminum

• PremiAL R100, made with 100% recycled aluminum

Compared to profiles made from virgin aluminum, PremiAL R70 and R100 help reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 55% and 80%, respectively. By choosing PremiAL, customers actively participate in supporting environmental sustainability.

PremiAL R100 : World-Class Aluminum, Sustainably Produced at Scale

  TOSTEM is one of only two manufacturers worldwide capable of producing aluminium profiles using 100% recycled material. In addition, TOSTEM Thai has established a mass production system for these profiles, providing a key competitive advantage by ensuring consistent and reliable supply.

How Can TOSTEM Thai Mass Produce Low-Carbon Aluminium Profiles ?

  Stable Procurement of High-Quality Aluminium Scrap
Through long-standing partnerships with dozens of suppliers, we are able to continuously procure high-quality scrap aluminium with minimal impurities.

  Expertise in Processing a Wide Range of Scrap Aluminium Types
Our proprietary processing knowledge allows us to effectively utilize various types of aluminium scrap, ensuring consistent output quality.

  Quality-Focused Production Environment
To preserve quality, scrap aluminium is carefully stored and specially handled before casting. All materials are kept in indoor storage areas before being processed into finished products.

  Global Supply Chain Strategy for Stable Material Procurement
With growing global demand for recycled aluminium, securing consistent supply is no easy task. TOSTEM operates manufacturing bases in Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam, each with its own material procurement routes, ensuring stable access to high-quality recycled aluminium to meet high-volume customer demand.

TOSTEM’s Unique Aluminium Recycling Technology for PremiAL

  Although the production process for PremiAL is similar to conventional aluminium profile manufacturing, recycled aluminium scrap has a higher variance in its composition. This makes precise adjustment of component ratios challenging. At TOSTEM, we leverage over 25 years of world-class technological expertise to overcome these complexities, ensuring stable and continuous production.

Core Production Processes for Aluminium Profiles :

1. Casting / Melting (Adjusting Composition & Creating Billets)

2. Extrusion

3. Surface treatment

4. Fabrication

100% Recycled Aluminium with Virgin-Grade Quality

  We are often asked whether recycled aluminium profiles match the quality of virgin aluminium. With full confidence, we assure that PremiAL profiles offer the same level of quality. Backed by our proprietary melting technology and stringent raw material selection and quality control, PremiAL delivers premium performance while staying environmentally conscious.

A Future Built on Circular Resources

  TOSTEM is dedicated to promoting circular resource use, ensuring sustainability across the entire product lifecycle—from raw material procurement and production to consumer use and eventual recycling. PremiAL is a truly unique product, combining sustainable manufacturing with practical use of recycled resources. Going forward, TOSTEM will continue reducing carbon emissions from material procurement and work towards becoming a leading production hub in Thailand to further expand across the ASEAN region.
