Speira announce new sustainability label RIVOS, aimed to maximise resource efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint of their products. RIVOS combines external scrap and low-carbon primary metal, tailored to regional opportunities for use of renewables energies.
RIVOS is the label for aluminium produced with particularly low emissions, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship. By combining efficient production methods, recycled content and the use of renewable energy sources, RIVOS products are designed to minimise carbon footprints while maintaining the highest standards of quality and durability.
• Labels products with a carbon footprint of max. 4.5 t CO2 / t Al
• Combines low CO2 primary aluminium, the use of external scrap and regional opportunities for sustainable energy
• Third-party certified for total transparency
Speira explains that their RIVOS products are based upon a threefold synergy effect. The first two are a high proportion of external scrap and low-carbon primary metal, both significantly lowering our footprint. The third element is leveraging regional conditions to generate resource-efficient and sustainable energy. In Norway, for instance, Speira harness the power of fjords and waterfalls to produce hydropower, a clean and renewable energy source for our production processes. The inspiration for the name RIVOS, derived from the Latin word for ‘river’, reflects this deep connection to responsible energy use.
