The aluminum die-casting industry is undergoing a deep transformation, driven by growing environmental awareness and the need to adopt more sustainable practices. For a long time, the Tecnopress team has been committed to demonstrating how technological innovation and environmental responsibility can coexist in industrial manufacturing.

Towards a Sustainable Future: How Aluminum Die Casting is Evolving to Meet Environmental Challenges

Circular Economy and Recycling: Our Approach

Sustainability in high pressure aluminium die-casting begins with a key concept: optimizing the production cycle to minimize waste.

Tecnopress has developed innovative procedures that allow:

  • Tracking each phase of the production process using a barcode system
  • Defining specific methods for reusing scraps for each aluminum alloy
  • Significantly reducing the amount of material sent for external recycling

Our company does not just manage waste—it actively reintegrates it into the production cycle, showing a concrete commitment to the circular economy.

Responsible Sourcing and Strategic Partnerships

Tecnopress’s sustainability strategy starts with supplier selection. The company follows a strict approach that evaluates not only the technical characteristics of materials but also the environmental performance of its partners. This strategy is implemented through:

  • Targeted collaborations on recycling initiatives
  • Joint monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions
  • Environmental impact assessments

Technological Innovation and Energy Efficiency

Technological evolution is a key element in Tecnopress’s strategy.

Over the past ten years, the company has made significant investments to upgrade its machinery, including:

  • Replacing over 50% of its presses with high-energy-efficiency equipment
  • Installing network-connected energy meters for precise performance monitoring
  • Implementing three photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 580 kWp

Transparency and Measurement: The GHG Protocol

Since 2022, Tecnopress has adopted the GHG Protocol, an international standard for greenhouse gas emission reporting.

This choice reflects the company’s commitment to a transparent and standardized measurement methodology, ensuring constant and scientific monitoring of its environmental performance.

Green Energy: A Concrete Commitment

Another distinguishing factor is energy procurement. In 2024, Tecnopress committed to using only electricity from renewable sources, proving that sustainability can be fully integrated into industrial processes.

The evolution of aluminum die casting is not just a technological matter—it is a cultural and strategic challenge. Our goal is to show that production efficiency and environmental respect can go hand in hand, transforming what was traditionally seen as a high-impact industry into a model of sustainable innovation.
