light steel frame system, demonstrating that lower-carbon construction does not have to mean compromising on technical requirements. This is particularly relevant to public- sector projects such as Plasyfelin, where environmental ambition must sit alongside demanding requirements for safety, quality, programme certainty, reduced maintenance and enhanced long-term performance.
reliance on virgin raw materials. The result is a light steel solution designed to support the transition from the traditional linear construction model of ‘take, make, dispose’ towards a more circular approach – ‘reuse, recycle, repeat’.
Significantly lower carbon emissions By using EAF technology, powered by renewable energy and recycled steel, ECO-LSF can achieve up to 70% lower carbon emissions compared with traditional steelmaking processes, providing contractors and developers with another mechanism for reducing embodied carbon within their projects. Importantly, however, the environmental credentials do not come at the expense of performance. ECO-LSF retains the performance expected from a modern
Taking sustainability up another level For Frameclad, it is also the next step in an established commitment to sustainability. Its conventional steel has historically contained around 60% recycled content, but the development of ECO-LSF was driven by the need to go further. are proud to give our clients an even more sustainable option,” says Nik Teagle, Joint Managing Director at Frameclad. “Taking it up another level and remaining competitive has taken time, but we are extremely proud that projects using ECO- LSF are now underway.”
ECO-LSF: the future of sustainable construction For Frameclad, ECO-LSF represents more than a new product. It is a practical response to the changing demands of construction.
“We are proud to support the objectives of the DfE’s new Education Estates Strategy and its recent fundamental shift in how education buildings are designed, delivered and managed,” adds Martin Jamieson, Joint Managing Director, Frameclad. “The strategy is about much more than replacing ageing buildings – it is about creating resilient, sustainable and high-performing education spaces that deliver long-term value for pupils, communities and the public purse. “Our ECO-LSF system demonstrates how innovation in construction can help turn those ambitions into reality. By harnessing Electric Arc Furnace technology and 100% recycled steel, we can deliver a without compromising safety, quality or performance. It is exactly the kind of practical innovation needed to help the education sector meet its sustainability ambitions while delivering the safe, resilient, future-ready buildings it needs.”
