Since 1945

At Alva, sustainability isn't a marketing trend—it's woven into our DNA. When Albert Vandaele began crafting exceptional cookware in 1945, he pioneered the repurposing of materials to create products with superior heat distribution and remarkable durability. Today, we honor that legacy by creating professional-grade cookware that not only lasts for generations but actively supports a healthier planet.

Recycled Materials

Sustainable materials are materials that are sourced, produced, and disposed of in a way that has a reduced impact on the environment and promotes long-term ecological balance. These materials are often renewable, recyclable, biodegradable, or produced using eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

Solar Power

Our factory harnesses solar energy to power our production processes, significantly reducing our carbon footprint while maintaining the exceptional quality we're known for.

Cleaner Air

We produce 60% less CO₂ during our curing phase compared to traditional methods. This significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is part of our ongoing commitment to protect the environment without compromising quality.

Water Conservation & Recycling

Our advanced in-house water filtration system maintains the highest quality standards while allowing us to reuse and recycle water throughout our manufacturing process, drastically reducing waste.

Circular Economy Champions

We incorporate certified recycled materials throughout our manufacturing process, reducing demand for virgin resources and minimizing waste. Every Alva product actively contributes to the circular economy we're working to build.
