We offer expertise in sustainable specification and carbon-conscious design, with an experienced team providing the latest insight and guidance to help you make informed, low-carbon material choices that drive a meaningful environmental impact.
The Construction Carbon footprint
Whilst the aviation industry captures headlines for its environmental impact, construction quietly accounts for a staggering 39% of global carbon emissions – nearly thirteen times more than all commercial flights combined. This sobering reality places our industry at the epicentre of the climate challenge, yet it also positions us as the sector with the greatest potential for meaningful change.
At Optima (available in the U.S. through our PurOptima brand), we’ve redefined how sustainability and performance can work hand in hand. Our use of Hydro Circal75R, the world’s lowest embodied-carbon aluminum, delivers exceptional structural integrity while significantly reducing environmental impact.
Beyond aluminum, we prioritise local glass sourcing for every installation, cutting transport emissions and supporting regional supply chains. This dual strategy of low-carbon materials and local sourcing maximizes carbon savings across entire projects.
Want to learn how your specification choices can achieve the same impact?
Book our “Myth Busting Carbon” CEU session and discover how informed material decisions can transform your next project from problem to solution in the fight against climate change.
Our latest article, Myth Busting Carbon, explores where the industry’s true impact lies, from the hidden carbon costs of frequent interior fit-outs to the game-changing role of embodied carbon in material selection.
Contact us today for a comprehensive Myth Busting Carbon CEU session. We'll equip your team with the knowledge and tools needed to specify materials that deliver both exceptional performance and meaningful carbon reduction.
Together, we can ensure your next project contributes to the solution, not the problem.
