Theatre : Construction Day Technology, Innovation and R&D
At Optima, respect is one of our core values. We respect the environment; we respect our clients, and we respect each other. It is therefore a priority for us to ensure that we are reducing our impact on the environment with all the measures we are taking as a business.
When faced with the question from specifiers of “why use aluminium instead of timber?” we decided to investigate the claims being made about timber against aluminium and thus started us on our journey to adopting Hydro CIRCAL in our glass partitioning solutions, which is Hydro’s brand of recycled aluminium made with a minimum of 75% recycled, post-consumer scrap.
Managing Director of Optima Products Ltd, Christian Mabey, Sustainability Expert Jake Richardson from Hydro and William Beer from Tunley Engineering guide us through our journey to sustainable development with Hydro CIRCAL.
