What exactly does it mean to be green?
For a material or product to be considered green, it should have low impact on the environment and therefore favor environmentalism—the practice of protecting and conserving the natural environment and its resources. Aluminum is one such material.
What makes aluminum a green material?
Aluminum is recyclable, sustainable, and versatile; three key qualities for any material being used to construct a green building. Historically, aluminum has proven to be one of the most important materials in successful recycling programs. Aluminum offers high scrap value, widespread consumer acceptance, and aluminum recycling enjoys significant industry support. In addition to recyclability, other eco-friendly qualities that aluminum touts while meeting green building requirements include its light weight-to-strength ratio, which allows for the reduction in weight of materials, and its extrudability, which accommodates off-site fabrication.
The 2007-2008 Buyers' Guide, the directory of Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) members, has a decidedly "green" look. The newly redesigned directory proclaims the many environmental benefits of extruded aluminum through editorial features, including articles focusing on sustainable aluminum in the green building and green power markets. With an eye toward promoting aluminum extrusion's material and process advantages to designers, architects, manufacturers, and others, the 2007-2008 Buyers' Guide contains the latest information supplied by AEC Members, including newly expanded listings for Supplier and Producer Members.
Aluminum: The Material of Choice for a Greener World
Aluminum's inherently sustainable characteristics combined with the extrusion process make extruded aluminum the green building industry's material of choice for now and the future.
