80% recycled aluminium
100% performance everywhere
SL Series excels in performance while prioritising sustainability. By reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes and using unique secondary raw materials, we’ve created an eco-friendly product.
This collection features a 6000 series alloy, composed of 80% recycled aluminium, developed for Blackjack’s requirements.
Despite our sustainable approach, we have not compromised the critical attributes of our wheels, such as weight and stiffness.
By harnessing materials with superior mechanical properties, we’ve designed an optimised rim profile that offers better stability, increased stiffness, and improved handling, while maintaining the lightest weight possible.
In search of a sustainable alloy, we partnered with Hydro, a leading aluminium and renewable energy company committed to a sustainable future.
Hydro’s expertise in green aluminium perfectly complements our manufacturing knowledge, resulting in a unique product that challenges perceptions about the quality and performance of recycled products.
Our alloy, certified and transparent, comprises about 80% recycled aluminium, including 32% post-consumed scrap, 48% pre-consumed scrap, and 20% primary scrap.
This combination results in a reduced carbon footprint of 5.1 kg CO2e per Avoided Burden Calculations, EPD S-P-10762, at Hydro’s local site.
The last step of the process.
With a new anodising line in our factory, we now have full control of the quality of the surface of our rims, so both the alloy’s resistance and its external appearance were improved.
To achieve lighter rims without compromising on their resistance, our R&D team has been designing all the collection’s profiles for the last two years while putting them through rigorous testing.
