The Multibeam system has been engineered to ensure maximum performance whilst minimising the material content.
Individual sections are packed together using low carbon mild steel, blued and waxed banding which is wholly recyclable. Identification of the bundles is by paper labels which are biodegradable and can be recycled.
Softwood bearers, used to support the bundles in transport are from managed woodland and are reusable.
Reuse
Steel does not lose its strength or stiffness over time so remains a viable product for reuse. Assembly joints between components can be easily dismantled at any time to facilitate reuse. Sections can be recut to length and reholed to suit a revised use.
Recycling
Steel is one of the world’s most recycled materials with over 40% of ‘new’ steel made from recycled steel. Kingspan’s suppliers encourage, promote and assist in the return of steel for recycling.
