Whitepaper: Lower-Carbon Aluminium in Architecture and Design
Reports estimate that the built environment generates nearly 50% of annual global CO2 emissions.1 In relation to this figure, building operations account for 27%, while the embodied carbon of building materials is responsible for an additional 20%.
There is growing pressure within the design and construction industry to lessen its environmental impact. One major problem that has to be addressed is the significant carbon footprint associated with traditional building materials.
