Green steel: the new sustainable material that will reshape the construction industry

The building and construction sectors are major contributors to climate change; therefore, the industry is increasingly shifting toward sustainable solutions. The Kingspan Group—a global leader in high-performance insulation and building solutions—has partnered with Hydnum Steel to promote the use of green steel, a more sustainable alternative to traditional steel. This initiative aligns with Kingspan Steel’s overarching goal of reducing the carbon footprint of building materials and practices. Green steel offers an innovative way to achieve high performance with low carbon emissions, without compromising durability or reliability.

Eva Maneiro, CEO of Hydnum Steel, and Mark Broderick, Kingspan’s Procurement Director, emphasize that their collaboration is key to transforming the construction industry and promoting sustainable practices that significantly reduce construction-related emissions. Their approach is grounded in circular economic strategies, including efficient logistics and the use of recycled ferrous scrap, ultimately aiming to minimize waste and environmental impact.
