Fun and leisure
  Aluminium’s
range of properties means that it is able to meet a wide variety
of requirements in the field of leisure and sports.
It is used to make CDs and high-performance mountain bikes,
skis, roller blades, soccer goal posts, sailing boats, scooters...
 The
Olympic Games is the arena in which aluminium can shine. In
Sydney 2000, the Olympic Torch survived the long journey from
Greece to Australia thanks to the intensive use of aluminium.
In Athens 2004, once again the Olympic Torch has been made
of aluminium, this time in combination with wood, to reflect
Man’s relationship with Mother Nature. For this event,
the European Aluminium Association launched a website dedicated
to the key role of aluminium in the Olympic Games.
The components of our “quality of life” are difficult
to define or predict but one thing is certain – they
will always be evolving. There will always be a need for materials
that are versatile and environmentally responsible. Aluminium
is such a material. |
