📢 A Sustainability First at 30 Duke Street St James's 🌍 We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Mace, OAG Ltd, and Norsk Hydro on the next phase of 30 Duke Street St James’s – a project that sets new benchmarks for sustainable development in the UK. This state-of-the-art office and retail development is pioneering the use of Hydro CIRCAL 100R—aluminium made from 100% recycled post-consumer scrap material—making it the first commercial development in the UK to deliver this groundbreaking material. Hydro CIRCAL 100R represents a breakthrough in recycled aluminium, with a near-zero carbon footprint (0.417 kg CO₂e per kg of aluminium), which is 94% lower than the global average for primary aluminium. Via this partnership, we aim for 81% of the aluminium used to be Hydro’s CIRCAL 100R, which will deliver a 82t CO₂e saving compared to standard aluminium. 🌱 Did you know at 30 Duke Street St James’s 🔹 We’re reusing nearly 450 tonnes of reclaimed steel which will generate approx. 755t CO₂e savings 🔹 33,645 kg of the existing Portland stone will be re-used avoiding almost 62,000kg of new stone being excavated 🔹 Via the Saint-Gobain Glass Forever Scheme we’re recycling 30 tonnes of glass. All new windows will be glazed with Saint-Gobain ORAE recycled glass. 🔹 Targets include BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, and NABERS UK 5 stars and a fossil fuel-free, fully electric design. With Mace as the principal contractor, designed by Make Architects in collaboration with Elliott Wood and Hoare Lea, this circular and carbon-efficient development establishes new sustainability benchmarks, serving as a model for future projects focused on circular economy principles and environmental responsibility.
