Lower-carbon Aluminium.
Choosing lower-carbon aluminium can significantly reduce the embodied energy of your aluminium products.
Aluminium is strong, lightweight and infinitely recyclable. But did you know average carbon emissions of primary aluminium produced globally is approximately 12.46kg CO2e/1kg Al.1
By choosing lower-carbon aluminium, your CO2e emissions can be significantly reduced.
