New aluminum sustainability webpages launched on FGIA website

The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) updated the Aluminum Material Council (AMC) portion of its site with webpages covering aluminum-focused sustainability. This new industry resource discusses the life cycle of aluminum fenestration products and the recyclability of that material. View it at FGIAonline.org/AMCsustainability.

“We are pleased to release this new section of the FGIA website to inform the public about the sustainability of aluminum fenestration products,” said Josh Wignall, chair of the FGIA AMC Marketing Committee. “While this can be a complex topic, these new pages break it down into easily understandable subsections with the latest information available.”

This project was initiated by FGIA’s AMC Marketing Committee to support the Aluminum Material Council by developing aluminum-focused sustainability web content. The aluminum pages are now cross-referenced on the FGIA sustainability page.

Aluminum’s Life Cycle and Recyclability
A new page about the life cycle of aluminum in fenestration products covers operational carbon, carbon footprint and the end of life phase. A second new page covering the recyclability of aluminum includes details on energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings, recycling circularity and aluminum’s high recycled content.
