Aluminum’s life cycle
Selecting sustainable materials is an important part of your green building project. Fortunately, you can select the most responsible option with the use of a life cycle analysis (LCA). How does this approach operate? What does it reveal about aluminum’s capacity for recycling? Learn more here.
A life cycle analysis assesses a product’s environmental impact at every stage of its existence, from raw materials to final disposal, or “end of life.” Recyclability has grown in importance in the building sector as businesses begin assessing the life cycle of their primary materials. Here, we concentrate on aluminum, the primary component of our window, door, and curtain wall solutions.
