We pride on being an Eco friendly and Sustainable Roofing Company
Your Greener Choice in Roofing
A Metal Roof is an environmentally friendly choice. It’s lighter than concrete or clay roofing, which means transportation is more energy-efficient. It requires less framing support, which saves resources. And it’s made from steel, which is endlessly recyclable. It also has a longer life span than concrete or clay products with minimal maintenance required during its life span. Which is great for you hip pocket.
We use Steel
Steel is the most eco friendly material in the world. In fact it can be recycled infinitely, without losing any of its qualities. So when our Colorbond products reach the end of its useful life, it doesn’t need to end up in landfill. It can be reworked into another steel product. All our products used are Australian made.
We are committed to Sustainability and Safety
What Sustainability means to us
As a company, we naturally meet the needs of customers, but we seek to do this without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. That is what we mean by sustainable practices. It is good business as well as good sense.
But there is more to it than that. A sustainable practice also demands rigorous environmental stewardship. If we cannot always prevent harm, we can minimize and remediate any negative environmental effects of the Company products and operations. To ensure this, we have developed high standards that we maintain by implementing a wide range of practical programs. These apply to issues that include air quality, ecosystems, biodiversity, climate change, and the use of energy, land and water, waste disposal.
To us here at A1 metal Roofing Solutions sustainability is a process, a journey we have committed to for the whole longevity of our companies practices.
How is Steel Sustainable?
Steel is 100% recyclable- its form can be changed infinitely without its qualities being lost as mentioned above.
Due to its magnetic properties, steel is easy to separate from waste streams, enabling high recovery rates.
The by-products arising from steel production are all re-used.
How do we do this?
