Forests cover 31 percent of the earth’s surface area, whilst being home to 80 percent of the planet’s land-based biodiversity. Forest cover also plays a critical role in mitigating climate change.
Yet according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations “State of the World’s Forests 2020” Report, deforestation and forest degradation continue to take place at alarming rates, contributing significantly to the ongoing loss of biodiversity.
Aluminium, referred to as a ‘green metal’, is recognized as an effective and efficient alternative to wood products used in construction, and is at the core of Alumex PLC’s sustainable manufacturing solutions.
Throughout the years, Alumex has attempted to collaborate with multiple stakeholders to inculcate sustainable manufacturing practices, whilst collaborating with its stakeholders towards greater circularity, and its environmental commitments.
