Kawneer, an American manufacturer of architectural aluminium systems, provides aluminium façade solutions that are created to minimise environmental impact and aid in the certification of sustainable buildings. The business has drafted a plan for future-proofing its products in order to accomplish this.
The usage of materials is a crucial component of Kawneer's sustainability approach. Aluminium is considered the most environmentally friendly building material because of its 100 per cent recyclable property. Aluminium made from recycling retains all of the physical properties of primary aluminium while using just 5 per cent of the energy required to make it.
Additionally, the company has taken action to increase the transparency of its business practices. Kawneer can now track the carbon impact of its goods and educate consumers by incorporating new practices into the design and development processes. Without sacrificing the quality of the final product, Kawneer was able to include recycled aluminium in the production process.
"Our product innovation team works relentlessly to develop systems that meet or surpass sustainable standards, from manufacturing to installation. Our focal points are energy performance and occupant comfort,” said ," said Kimberly Ferro, vice president of global marketing, product and technology for parent company Arconic Building & Construction Systems.
Not only this, Kawneer can now track the carbon impact of its goods and educate consumers by incorporating new practices into the design and development processes.
"Our customers have a series of documents and information to help them realise truly sustainable projects. Amongst these documents are Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that show the carbon footprint on the processing of our framing systems, material and ingredient content reports, and sustainable procurement practices guidelines,” added Ferro.

Additionally, the business adheres to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, reduces landfill waste and practises wastewater management, and supports trade groups that promote sustainable design. To maximise a building's energy efficiency, Kawneer is now leveraging its knowledge in sustainability to assist architects and contractors with product choices.
