Outstanding sustainability<br />
Aluminium is inherently sustainable. The raw material that contains aluminium, bauxite,<br />
is the third must abundant element in the earth’s crust with at least 300 years of<br />
reserves left at the current rate of usage. Furthermore, the power used in its production<br />
is predominantly hydroelectric, which is clean, CO 2 free and renewable.<br />
Once it has been produced, it then offers extraordinary recyclability: it can be reused<br />
again and again – with no loss of performance – and up to 95% of the energy used in<br />
initial manufacture is saved through recycling.<br />
<strong>Kalzip</strong> takes this recyclability a stage further with a system that provides decades of<br />
total building protection, and can then be unzipped and reused or recycled when a<br />
building reaches the end of its working life.<br />
If reuse is not possible, then <strong>Kalzip</strong>, as an aluminium product, offers an extremely high<br />
residual value compared with other <strong>roofing</strong> products, eliminating the cost and adverse<br />
environmental impact associated with disposal by landfill.<br />
This level of recyclability, together with its long term performance, means a <strong>Kalzip</strong><br />
system can provide A+ ‘Green Rating’ for BREEAM accreditation.<br />
Another green benefit of using a <strong>Kalzip</strong> roof is the opportunity to incorporate either of<br />
<strong>Kalzip</strong>’s two photovoltaic solar solutions – AluPlusSolar and Solarclad – or the advanced<br />
<strong>Kalzip</strong> Nature Roof system with its low growing, self-regenerating, drought-resistant<br />
plant cover.<br />

• Avis Technique (France)<br />
• BBA (UK)<br />
