Aluminium Extra

Everybody says they are sustainable these days , but are they ?

» ALCHEMY ARCHITECTURAL Aluminium Systems Limited is committed to sustainability . The importance of the environmental effects of manufacturing and the impact of carbon emissions associated with manufacturing aluminium products is not lost on the Walsall-based company .
Director Ian Moorcroft is passionate about making Alchemy as sustainably driven as possible , but it goes much further than just recycling aluminium …
“ We are exploring the possibility of increasing the sustainability aspects of our business . Obviously recycling aluminium
waste is a pre-requisite for most fenestration companies these days but Alchemy want to go way above and beyond this , in terms of sustainability , for instance by looking at environmentally friendly protective tape , limiting the use of plastics where possible , delivery logistics with the aim of reducing our carbon footprint , and a host of other small changes that nevertheless go some way to protecting the future of our environment .

They need not be just in the fenestration industry , I refer to a host of different industry groups that could go substantially further in their quest to be more carbon neutral .”
