You can feel good about purchasing Rollex products because they can be recycled again and again, forever. Our processes and procedures have been specifically designed to reduce waste and conserve energy, all while maintaining the beauty and quality of our products. Plus, you can breathe easy with our green finish coating that offers superior resistance to dirt, stains and fading.
Our primary resources are steel and aluminum. Both of these materials are easily recycled and have high value in the recycling process. Each year Rollex recycles millions of pounds of steel and aluminum.
Recycling aluminum uses only ~5% of the energy it takes to initially make aluminum using raw materials. Additionally, using recycled aluminum instead of raw materials reduces air pollution from Carbon, Sulfur and Nitrogen Dioxides by 95% and water pollution by 97%.
Rollex aluminum products are comprised of 95% scrap material, with 60% from post consumer and 35% pre consumer.
