Reducing waste and reaching net zero by 2030

Intro

EVTEC wants to minimise its impact on the planet and contribute towards a better future.

Today we operate at world leading efficiency rates and are focused on reducing the small percentage of waste from our businesses even further.

Driving the electric vehicle transition

At EVTEC we take parts previously used on internal combustion engines and repurpose them for electric vehicles and battery systems. This removes the need for additional raw material production and reduces the environmental impact of the end vehicle.

World leading efficiency

98% of all the raw aluminium that is delivered to our foundry is turned into precision components for our customers. There are very few manufacturing businesses around the world that can claim such a high efficiency rate.

Creativity minimises waste

During the production process we skim the top off the molten aluminium to ensure the perfect composition of the final component. This creates dross which is sold into the cosmetics industry rather than being sent to landfill.

Zero to landfill

We ensure all waste is collected and recycled responsibly, meaning none of our waste goes to landfill.

Charging points installed
for EVs

We have installed charging points to enable employees who drive electric vehicles to charge their car at work.

Solar panel plan

We are investing in solar panels to provide renewable energy for our factory.

Encouraging re-usable
packaging

We are reducing the amount of cardboard we use in favour of re-usable packaging.

Utilising boxes for food banks

We ensure all waste is collected and recycled responsibly, meaning none of our waste goes to landfill.

Energy efficient lighting and heating

We are replacing our lighting with LEDs and have introduced energy-efficient heating on the shop floor.

Water consumption
reduction target

We are committed to reducing our water consumption by December 2025

EVTEC Aluminium Coventry (EAC), part of EVTEC Group, is actively progressing toward achieving net zero emissions. As part of its environmental commitment, EAC holds ISO 14001 accreditation and is continually exploring new opportunities to enhance sustainability across its operations. While solar panel installation has been considered, it is not currently feasible. However, EAC has implemented several key initiatives, including the installation of external EV charging points, energy-efficient lighting, and heating systems—improvements that are ongoing. The site is proud to operate with zero waste to landfill and is strongly focused on reducing water consumption year on year, reinforcing its dedication to responsible resource management.

EAC’s current objectives are:

1. 100% Compliance with Permit Requirements

2. Zero Notifiable Incidents or Spills

3. A Reduction in KWh/part
