As the company continues to grow , it recognises the importance of investing in sustainability and adopting a responsible approach to its expansion . Among the ongoing discourse regarding the environmental impact of carbon in steel , Scott explains how Remagin embraces sustainability . “ Sustainability is one of the four pillars of our strategy at Remagin and Etex . We don ’ t emit as much carbon as construction sites do , and we use renewable energy to power our factories . During our manufacturing process , we emphasise waste reduction and control : any unused recyclable materials are recycled . Steel ’ s infinitely recyclable properties lend themselves to circular construction principles . The steel that Remagin supplies originates mostly from recycled sources , and our structures can be easily disassembled and recycled at the end of their life cycle . Furthermore , although steel production requires a considerable amount of carbon , its high strength to weight ratio means that we only need a small amount of material to ensure strength and durability ,” he enlightens .
Services , that possesses its own sustainability consultancy service . This allows us to better understand our customers and explore ways we can make our designs and processes more sustainable ,” he concludes .
As Remagin continues its transformative journey , the company not only focuses on delivering efficient and high-quality
Sustainable solutions
Complementary to its well-developed circular economy practices , Remagin is exploring new options to enhance its sustainability . “ Together with some of our suppliers , we have been investigating green steel , which is produced using hydrogen and components other than carbon . It is more expensive today , but we have started offering it regardless , and when our customers are ready for it , we ’ ll be prepared to supply it to them . While making it economically viable can be challenging for some , we are striving to help our customers understand that it serves the greater good . We are beginning to see that sustainability is being prioritised over cost on some projects now , so we ’ re positive there will be a demand for it in the future . We also have a sister company , in which we own 60 per cent , called Evolution Design
