APL & Sustainability

APL has released a policy document outlining a wide range of environmental mitigation measures that are in operation across all aspects of its business including extruding, powder coating, anodising, packing and distribution.

The paper examines the issue of aluminium’s high ‘embodied energy’ and points out the favourable comparison between aluminium and alternative window materials for both recyclability and durability.

In addition to practical steps at an operational level, APL highlights the release of its new range of thermally efficient windows and doors, Metro Series Thermal Heart, a precursor to other thermally efficient products.
