Materials & Sustainability

The arch components are designed to follow standards, reduce waste materials and minimize impact on the environment. The material components of the chrysler portal have sustainable properties, either inherently or in their production, leading to environmentally responsible construction practices.

ACM

The average yearly recycled content of the aluminum in aluminum composite material (acm) is approximately 85%, and it is fully recyclable.

Steel

Steel is the most widely recycled of all common building materials. Approximately 88% of all steel products, and nearly 100% of steel used in beams and plates in construction, is recycled into new steel products at the end of its useful life.

Concrete

The constituents of concrete can be recycled materials, and concrete itself can also be recycled; these materials are usually available locally. Most concrete in urban areas is recycled as fill or road base and not placed in landfills.

Plywood

Wood is the only naturally renewable building material. Wood products make up 47% of all industrial raw materials manufactured in the united states, yet consume only 4% of the total energy needed to manufacture all industrial raw materials.
