\"lowWalraven has launched a new low emission strut channel – Walraven RapidStrut\u00ae LE, delivering up to 59% lower carbon emissions<\/strong>. This lower-carbon strut product helps M&E contractors reduce embodied carbon without compromising performance or changing the way systems are installed.<\/p>\n

As the construction industry faces increasing pressure to reduce the embodied carbon of buildings, the choice of materials and components is becoming increasingly important. Strut channel probably accounts for the largest percentage of steel used in M&E installations, and now there is an option to generate significant carbon reductions.<\/p>\n

Lower carbon, same strut performance<\/h2>\n

The reason we can produce strut channel with a lower carbon footprint, is primarily down to the production process.<\/p>\n

The channel is manufactured using 100% recycled steel, fossil-free electricity, biofuels and bio-coal<\/strong>. It is also 100% recyclable at end of life.<\/p>\n

Despite the lower-emission production process, there is no performance trade-off. Walraven RapidStrut\u00ae LE channel has the same strength and technical characteristics as the standard Walraven RapidStrut\u00ae channel and remains fully compatible with the system accessories.<\/p>\n

Up to 59% lower cradle-to-gate CO\u2082 emissions<\/h2>\n

Walraven RapidStrut\u00ae LE is currently available in two channel options:<\/p>\n
