Whenever there is discussion on product life cycles, reference is normally made to a cradle to grave approach to product stewardship. Using this approach, consideration is given to the environmental profile of the product during its manufacture through to its disposal at the end of its life.
Lead sheet distinguishes itself due to the inherent very high levels of recycling.
Lead has a history of extraordinarily high levels of recycling. These levels are far above all other construction materials used in our modern world.
Today’s sophisticated systems of collection and recycling with very low energy consumption and very low environmental impacts guarantee continuing high rates of recycling.
As a result of these advanced product management systems, lead sheet has no real grave. Instead, it has a perpetual cycle of re-use.
The product life cycle is one of cradle to cradle, rather than the traditional model of cradle to grave.
