Environment

In an age which is so punctuated by the arguments of environmental sustainability, one cannot overlook the advantage of opting for a “green building” option. Apart from the relatively intangible advantages of public opinion, we are now witnessing the development of laws benefiting entities which opt for sustainable developments.

Steel construction delivers quick, flexible, adaptable, low waste, off-site, dust free and efficient construction which regularly receives the highest environmental ratings. This is consistent with Europe’s sustainable development strategy of a construction industry that can deliver economic buildings, which can enhance our quality of life while reducing the burdens on the resources available to us.

Steel can be re-cycled or re-used repeatedly without degrading its quality. It is the most recycled of all construction materials. Worldwide, over 90% of scrap that becomes available is captured and UK studies indicate that up to 99% of steel sections are either recycled or re-used.
 

Sustainability is built into steel all along the supply chain, from an environmentally responsible approach to the sourcing of materials, through manufacturing processes that are based on continuous improvement, to the production of steel construction products that are modern and efficient.
