Great idea to encourage #architects & other building pros to think about materials like #copper that perform essential functions behind the walls of homes, schools & workplaces. Kudos to the team at CuSP - Copper Sustainability Partnership!
Today is our new favourite time of the year... Copper Awareness Day! 🤩 Why did we create this awareness day? 🤔 Our research shows that plastic waste from the UK construction industry has increased by 210% annually since 2004, with recycling rates as low as 3% for common plastics like PVC. Enough is enough. The solution to us is clear. #ChooseCopper. This day is designed to highlight copper’s essential role in creating a sustainable future and reducing plastic waste. Whether it’s supporting renewable energy systems or serving as the go-to material for durable, sustainable piping, copper is key to reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry.
