Australian manufacturer Ozroll has reduced its annual carbon footprint by 1200 tonnes by switching to Capral LocAl Green lower carbon aluminium for their Elipso aluminium louvres and plantation shutters.
General manager of Ozroll Queensland, Jack McDonald said they made the transition to a more environmentally friendly material to meet growing demand for more sustainable solutions.
“Energy efficiency and sustainability are a big part of what we do. The products we offer to the market, including our louvres and plantation shutters can deliver real efficiency benefits within the built environment,” McDonald said.
“When we heard about LocAl and understood it was an option for our product, we moved quickly to introduce it to our range. The product delivers the same structural and performance characteristics with the added benefit of lower CO2 emissions.”
Capral’s industrial manager for southeast Queensland, Peter Bulka said the locAl Green option is up to 50 per cent lower in carbon emissions than the current global average for aluminium.
“At eight kilograms of carbon emissions per kilogram of aluminium, Capral’s LocAl Green offer has 50 per cent lower carbon emissions than the current global average for primary aluminium. It gives Australian manufacturers like Ozroll an important opportunity to make more responsible procurement decisions when they source extruded aluminium. Capral is so proud to be able to support Ozroll in the supply of lower-carbon aluminium,” Bulka said.
“By switching to LocAl Green lower carbon aluminium, Ozroll is not only prioritising environmental stewardship, but they are also setting a new benchmark for sustainable manufacturing practices.”
