Dura Products highlights green credentials with LCA results
DURA Products has confirmed its sustainability credentials with the release of new Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for its Durakerb, Duradrain and Durachannel products.
The LCA, conducted by independent sustainable consultancy Fishwick Environmental Ltd, revealed that DuraKerb – a lightweight kerbstone – has a carbon footprint of just 1.06kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kg. The Duradrain heavy duty combined kerb and drainage system (CKD) comes in at 1.47 per kg, while the Durachannel, a heavy-duty linear surface drainage system, has a carbon footprint of 1.71 per kg.
Dura said it is an advocate of plastic kerbs, thanks to their high recycled content and lightweight composition. The publication of this LCA follows the company’s new strategy for expansion and wider carbon reduction, which includes a commitment to ensuring the environmental benefits of its systems are upheld at every stage of the product’s lifecycle.
