Stainless steel is a highly durable and sustainable corrosion resistant material. For decades, stainless steel has been one of the materials of choice for food and beverage processing, chemical processing plants, household appliances and tableware, healthcare, construction applications and mobility. The use of stainless steel in the building and infrastructure (B&I) sector is growing slowly, but is still less than 1% of the total annual steel consumption in this sector.

As we have to adapt to the ongoing impacts of climate change while replacing aging structures built more than 50 years ago, we need to consider different materials to ensure that our buildings and infrastructure can last more than 125 years with minimal maintenance. Life cycle thinking should therefore be at the heart of how we develop our urban environments and wider infrastructure. Choosing resilient and sustainable materials alongside the wise use of cash should also be part of this thought process.

Stainless steel is one of the ultimate low or zero maintenance materials, so if you would like to find out more about stainless steel products, contact us freely, always online~
