Sustainability overview
Sustainable Composite Walkway Solutions with Low Embodied Carbon
At Dura Composites, we help architects, designers, and specifiers meet their sustainability goals by delivering composite walkway systems with industry-leading low embodied carbon — without compromising on safety, strength, or aesthetics.
Our d² product range offers significantly reduced embodied carbon thanks to intelligent design, advanced engineering, and precision manufacturing. This helps the construction industry progress towards net-zero targets while delivering long-term project value.
Supporting Sustainable Specification
Dura Composites simplifies sustainable decision-making by providing:
- Embodied Carbon Values for our d² product range
- Third-Party Verified EPDs, calculated using One Click LCA software
- Technical Guidance and Data to support project planning, compliance, and reporting
- Closed-Loop Recycling Scheme — repurposing d² offcuts and end-of-life products into new materials, reducing landfill and further minimising environmental impact
Our robust environmental data empowers specifiers to plan more sustainably, enhance Scope 3 reporting accuracy, and align projects with growing regulatory and client demands for low-carbon construction.
Spotlight on the d² Range – Sustainable GRP Innovation
High-Performance Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) with Reduced Carbon
Our d² range of GRP and Aluminium walkways and related products represent a step change in composite design – delivering exceptional strength, safety, and durability with significantly lower embodied carbon.
Through advanced engineering and rigorous testing, we’ve created a solution that supports both performance and sustainability objectives.
Key Benefits of the d² Range:
- Safer: Up to 33% lighter for easier handling and safer installation
- Stronger: Capable of up to 50% greater spans or loads
- Greener: Up to 50% reduction in embodied carbon compared to competitor products
- Proven: Backed by over 1 million live tests and simulations
Sustainability Impact to Date:
- 2.2 million kg of raw materials saved
- Over 8 million kg of CO₂ emissions prevented
Enabling Circular Economy Practices
Our UK-based recycling initiative ensures that d² products can be repurposed at end-of-life. We also offer a take-back scheme for d² offcuts and site waste, helping projects minimise landfill and improve environmental performance.
