Sustainability

At Kawneer, we take all our responsibilities very seriously. We’re dedicated to creating products and systems that promote integrated, wholebuilding design practices.

For our own production, we use recycled aluminium billets 100% of the time and all production waste is recycled. Our extrusions carry a life expectancy of 50 years, significantly higher than other materials - and of course, they’re 100% recyclable.

Aluminium is widely recognised as one of the best materials available for construction. Aside from its practical and energy-saving advantages, it can be recycled repeatedly without loss of properties using just 5% of the energy originally used to mine, smelt and produce it. Aluminium’s natural strength, lightness and durability makes it the ideal material for meeting architectural glazing requirements.

We're committed to creating products that help comply with BREEAM standards and promote integrated, whole building designs; and with 95% of aluminium in buildings being recycled, architects can design with cradle to cradle lifecycles in mind, helping to achieve green building standards.
