Steel that helps reduce CO₂ emissions
At Lindab, we are committed to improving the climate both inside buildings and beyond. Reducing carbon emissions is a vital step toward a better future for everyone.
Rethinking how steel is used in ventilation
Steel is the primary material used in Lindab's products. It is durable, endlessly recyclable and non-combustible. However, steel production is responsible for around 7% of global CO₂ emissions, according to World Steel Association, making it one of the most carbon-intensive industries. Cutting emissions from steel is therefore crucial, as it remains a fundamental material.
At Lindab, we are working to offer products that lower the CO2 emissions from steel through three main initiatives: Lighter duct systems, recycled steel and near-zero steel. Read more below:
Steel – a circular material
Steel is a key material in Lindab's products and plays an important role in the circular economy. It is durable and can be manufactured using recycled resources.
Key benefits of steel:
- Has a long lifespan
- Can be recycled again and again without loss of quality
- Can be manufactured using recycled resources
Lindab uses European steel for its consistent high quality, as well as its climate and ethical benefits. Its carbon footprint is fully documented, and shorter transport distances compared to steel from Asia or North America result in real environmental gains.
