Sustainability
We seek to minimise the environmental impact of our activities through the prevention of pollution, minimising waste, promoting good environmental management practices and using environmental management systems which are externally audited through ISO 14001.
We are committed to conducting our activities and operations in line with current legislation seeking continual improvement within all areas of our business.
Link 51 Office products are predominantly made from steel. Steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. As steel is recycled, it maintains its strength and integrity so it can be made into one quality product after another.
All Link 51 products are designed to ensure 100% re-use throughout the life span of the product and recycling at the end of its life.
Recycling
Link 51 product designs make the maximum use of mechanical fixings such as bolts and clipping systems, minimising the use of permanent fixings such as welding to ensure the product can be dismantled to its pre-constructed state, transported and re-used.
Furthermore once the product is dismantled at the end of its life span the material can be more easily disposed of through the respective waste stream for recycling.
Materials
Link 51 purchases steel from 'mini' type steel mills fed with 100% recycled scrap metal. We also purchase from integrated steel mills fed from a combination of iron ore and recycled scrap metal.
An integrated mill uses between 11% and 26% scrap metal in the material mix. It is beneficial for the mill to use a higher content of scrap but this varies through availability.
Through our management programme we are currently reviewing identification methods for our various products and respective materials to support the recycling process at the end of the products life span.
Sustainable Design
Our goal is to deliver clients with the best value whilst reducing total cost of ownership through reduced capital, operating costs, and future proof of design.
Link 51 apply innovative contemporary design methodologies for a wide variety of storage applications. The deployment of modular standardised building blocks eliminates the need for one time engineering, and enables the right sizing of your storage facilities.
Our approach to standardisation of storage designs increases reliability and availability. Our designs enable improved speed of deployment; provide the ability to scale, and ability to reconfigure in line with changing workplace environments.
