Colorbond fencing<\/a> is a popular choice among Australian homeowners due to its durability, low maintenance, and wide range of colours. However, many may not be aware of the history and sustainability of this fencing material. This blog post aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and environmental impact of Colorbond fencing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The History of Colorbond<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Colorbond fencing was first introduced in 1966 by BlueScope, an Australian steel company. It was initially developed as a solution for rural fencing, with the aim of providing a long-lasting alternative to traditional timber fencing. Over the years, the product has evolved and is now widely used for residential, commercial, and industrial fencing in Australia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2002, BlueScope released the first ever Colorbond fence made from 100% recycled steel. This marked a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. Today, all Colorbond steel products, including fencing, are made from a minimum of 37.5% recycled steel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Sustainability of Colorbond Fencing<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the main benefits of Colorbond fencing is its long lifespan. Weather resistace fences<\/a> can be achieved with proper installation and maintenance that can last for decades. This means that homeowners do not have to constantly replace their fences, leading to a reduction in waste and resources.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to its longevity, Colorbond fencing is also 100% recyclable at the end of its life. This makes it an environmentally-friendly option as it reduces the demand for virgin materials and minimises the amount of waste sent to landfills.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Colorbond fencing is also a low maintenance option, as it does not require painting or treatment. This not only saves homeowners time and money, but it also reduces the use of harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Manufacturing Process<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

BlueScope is committed to minimising its environmental impact and has implemented various measures in the manufacturing process of Colorbond fencing. The company has a strong focus on energy efficiency, with the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. It has also invested in technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water usage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to its sustainability initiatives, BlueScope also has a program in place to offset any remaining emissions from its manufacturing process through the purchase of carbon credits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Colorbond fencing is a durable and sustainable option for Australian homeowners. Its long lifespan and recyclability make it an environmentally friendly choice, while its low maintenance requirements reduce the use of chemicals and resources. <\/p>
