Abstract

Aluminium Recyclability and Recycling is the second book in the Towards Sustainable Cities series. Aluminium is almost infinitely recyclable, and this is well understood. This research identifies that aluminium-based projects dating back to 1950 that have been disassembled have all been recycled. 1950 is the first year of entries in IAI’s global mass flow model. The research reviews the reasons why buildings are demolished and rates of material recovery at the end of use. Key examples of short-life and relocatable architecture are set out, alongside the future role of Design for Disassembly [DfD]. This research also identifies that there is a much wider uptake of cast aluminium components in architecture than may have been expected.
