Sustainability
BEAUTIFUL. DURABLE. RESPONSIBLE.
At Lorin Industries, sustainability is not a trend, it’s part of our DNA. For more than 80 years, we’ve led the way in coil anodizing technology, developing finishes that enhance both design and durability while minimizing environmental impact. From our closed-loop water treatment system to our fully recyclable materials, every part of our process is designed to conserve resources and protect our planet.
At Lorin Industries, our aluminum is 97% recyclable, we treat 100% of our wastewater, we use no VOCs, and we are committed to ongoing reductions of our carbon emissions.
SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN
Lorin anodized aluminum is a durable, environmentally responsible material that enhances green building projects. Architects and designers who specify Lorin can earn LEED credits while showcasing a commitment to sustainable design.
WHY ANODIZED ALUMINUM IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Durability = Sustainability: Anodized aluminum resists corrosion, wear, and UV damage, reducing the need for replacements and conserving resources.
No Harmful Emissions: Unlike paints or coatings, anodizing emits no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the environment.
97% Recyclable: Aluminum retains full material properties after recycling, anodized finishes are fully recyclable with no extra processing.
WHY THE ANODIZING PROCESS SUPPORTS SUSTAINABILITY
Electrochemical Process: Enhances the natural oxide layer with just electricity, water, and aluminum, no heavy metals or solvents involved.
Low Environmental Impact: Minimal chemical waste compared to traditional plating or painting.
Sealed for Protection: After anodizing, parts are sealed, locking in the finish and preventing environmental degradation without need for future coatings.
LORIN’S COMMITMENT TO A GREEN MANUFACTURING PROCESS
On-Site Water Treatment Plant: Fully treats and recycles process water to protect local ecosystems.
On-Site Power Plant: Generates clean, efficient energy to reduce carbon footprint.
Sustainable Operations: Closed-loop systems, energy-efficient manufacturing, and minimal waste.
