Sustainability

SAS International is committed to improving the sustainability of both the built environment and our own manufacturing approaches. Our ISO 14001:2015 certification testifies this commitment and offers an internationally recognised validation of our ongoing efforts.

Cradle-to-Cradle Certification

As part of our mission and vision to put sustainability at the centre of our business, SAS International is now Cradle to Cradle certified Bronze Level to Version 4.0.

Waste Reduction

Recycling waste is not just about recycling site waste and ethical sourcing of materials. The key is to formulate strategies to stop producing it in the first place.

Benefits of Metal

SAS International is totally committed to the provision of enhanced value to our clients throughout product specification, design, manufacture and installation.

SAS Horizon

To significantly lower the embodied carbon of our products, we have introduced the SAS Horizon products programme.

Recycled Perforations

We produce hundreds of tonnes of metal punchings each year, but rather than melting these down and causing additional carbon emissions, we supply them for an alternative method

Thermal Mass Cooling

Buildings designed to use thermal mass to realise energy reduction through passive heating and cooling efficiencies are well documented.

Re-use and Recycling of PPC

SAS’ most recent endeavor to lower carbon footprint in the built environment is our new partnership with Nelco, a Europe based company which provides environmentally-friendly, professional and legal solution to recycling powder coating.

Whole Life Costing

A key design and construction consideration for any sustainable building is its whole life costing. Many factors must be considered including maintenance, repair, refurbishment, waste, energy usage, demolition and disposal.
