Lindab air duct made of recycled steel is more widely available
Last year, the Swedish construction company announced that the world's first air ducts made from fossil-free steel last year, which were delivered to Swedish construction projects on a trial basis. Subsequently, continuing on the path of sustainability, the company introduced ventilation products made from recycled steel. In the case of circular and rectangular cross-section ventilation pipes, the use of recycled steel raw materials in 75% reduces CO₂ emissions, which are primarily responsible for global warming, by 60 per cent.
Sustainable raw material
Now the circular duct system made of recycled steel in at least 75% is available to a wider market. This significant step supports Lindab's commitment to sustainability and is in line with the company's mission to serve the growing demand for sustainable buildings and building materials.
Recycled steel products are made from at least 75% recycled steel, which significantly reduces CO2 emissions by 60% compared to the same products made from conventional steel. For example, for an SR 125 (circular cross-section pipe with a diameter of 125 mm), this means a reduction of 2.44 kg of CO2e emissions per metre.
Recycled steel is a key pillar of the Lindab sustainability strategy. By offering an air duct system made from alternative materials, Lindab contributes to a more sustainable future and construction industry. It does this without reducing environmental impact, without compromising quality and efficiency, or compromising the high standards that Lindab applies.
The company's current 'recycled portfolio' includes Lindab Safe ducts and a few selected bends, but Lindab is committed to continuously expanding this range.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
The Lindab Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for certain ventilation products, making it a leader among domestic ventilation manufacturers.
An EPD for recycled steel products is currently being developed and the Lindab aims to provide all actors in the construction industry with accurate information on the environmental impact of products and materials used in buildings through Environmental Product Declarations. This will enable professionals to make responsible choices between building materials and products, thus contributing to a sustainable future for the construction industry.

The energy efficiency of a building is influenced by its ventilation
From the perspective of both sustainability and efficiency, economical operation and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important considerations in the design and construction of buildings. The building's ventilation system has a significant impact on this. The circular cross-section air duct has the best air tightness values, which is essential from an energy efficiency perspective. The Lindab Safe circular cross-section air duct is available as a complete system from the company, together with a wide range of accessories and airtightness class D. It is a well-documented system with technical specifications measured in our own laboratory. The Lindab Safe has Eurovent certification, which is an advantage in building certification. As a result, the Lindab Safe circular air duct system has been used in the construction of renowned buildings such as the MOL Campus. Lindab manufactures circular cross-section air ducts at its site in Biatorbágy, Hungary, thereby increasing the efficiency of the project and reducing the carbon footprint caused by transport.
