7. Building For The Future |
Environmentally
conscious developers and builders are increasingly
turning to steel in a bid to protect their investment,
the lifecycle of their properties and the environment.
Although products made from COLORBOND® steel have
been used in Australia for many years to ensure
the longevity of the built environment, the lifecycle
of buildings and in particular their recyclability
is moving rapidly up the industry agenda. Read
