The Green Roofing Store…

TRS IS DETERMINED TO MINIMIZE CARBON EMISSION.

 
 

Environmentally Friendly Steel Materials

Global emission of carbon dioxide has increased so much throughout the years. It is the main cause of global warming. The Roofing Store is determined to make the society a low carbon society, and already have switched to use of Eco-friendly steels. At The Roofing Store, we take pride in our imported steel. We have sourced the world in search of the best product but more importantly from a mill which continues to invest in environmentally friendly equipment and focuses on reducing the emission of green house gases. The mill that we have partnered with has been constantly solving the sustainability issues through industrial development. The steel materials that we import play a very important role when it comes to reducing the green house gas emissions. All the steel materials meet the goal of creating a low carbon society. There are noteworthy improvements such as recyclable steel together with the proper efficient utilization of energy possible due to the installation of systems like:

· ESS system- controls the release of toxic gases and minimizes hazards like stranded energy.

· ECO EAF system- improves energy efficiency by utilization of waste heat during the steel making process.

· ISO 14001- reduces environmental impact of steel manufacturing, waste management and pollution.

· ISO 50001- helps tackle climate change by reducing green house gases (CO2) by monitoring emissions and energy usage as well as sourcing energy from renewable sources.

We have managed to reduce carbon emissions by as much as 70% (without purchasing carbon credits). This is a huge reduction and a great achievement which will benefit the future of the environment.

Recycling to reduce Carbon emissions and energy consumption

Recycling steel plays an important role to continuously improve the environment by reducing the consumption of new natural resources. This also reduces the need for mining and the associated effects to the environment.

Our steel making is based on electrical manufacturing methods that use steel scrap recycling as a raw material, taking into account the environmental impact of all production processes and the principle of minimizing pollutant emissions and energy consumption.

An electric furnace is the most effective way to recycle iron

We have used the steel coils that are produced with one of the most environmentally friendly Eco ARC furnaces in operation.

We are concerned about our future and our environment

We are trying to make a pre-emptive effort on global warming issues and have been reducing and complying with the government restrictions without purchasing additional carbon credits.

We recognize the environment as an important element that needs to be managed and considered at all stages of the production process. Through this approach, we can identify potential environmental emergencies and prepare organizational responses.

In future we will continue to efficiently recycle iron accumulated from decades of domestic and commercial waste through advanced technologies, reducing CO2 emission expected in 2030 by further 37%.

We not only comply with international environmental laws and treaties to establish and implement the highest standards, we also strive to set the standard for steel roofing and cladding productions in the world to achieve the greatest possible outcome for the environment and future generation to come.

EnvironmENTal Product Declaration

At The Roofing Store, we are committed to transparency and environmental responsibility. That’s why we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for our products. An EPD is a comprehensive document that communicates the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle. This includes details about raw material extraction, manufacturing processes, transportation, and end-of-life considerations. By offering EPDs, we empower our customers to make informed choices, aligning with their sustainability goals. Our commitment goes beyond delivering high-quality roofing solutions; it extends to minimizing our ecological footprint. Explore our EPDs to discover the environmental credentials of our products and join us in building a more sustainable future.
