Let’s take a closer look at just some of the reasons that Colorbond® steel fencing is the best choice for the environment.
Colorbond® fencing is made from steel, a 100% recyclable material. With the amount of pollution and excess waste affecting our oceans and environment nowadays, it’s important that we take responsibility and choose recyclable materials whenever possible. When Colorbond® fencing eventually reaches the end of its life (a long, long time from now), it can be recycled again so it does not have a negative impact on the environment.
In today’s culture of throwaway products and quick replacements, this is definitely one step in the right direction for the health of our planet.
Producing steel fences doesn’t involve the use of harsh chemicals so there is very little if any, chemical waste produced in the production of this kind of fencing. After Colorbond® fences are put in place, they don’t leak harsh chemicals into the surrounding environment.
Using a fencing material to protect your home that will not contaminate the local environment (especially natural water sources) is another big plus for choosing this type of fence over alternative materials.
Colorbond® steel fences are resistant to termite infestation, meaning you can avoid using harsh chemicals to control any insect issues. You also don’t need to use chemicals to treat the fence to stop it from rotting or becoming susceptible to termite damage.
Choosing Colorbond fencing over other fencing types means you greatly reduce the amount of chemicals that you need to buy and use on your property and this has nothing but a positive impact on the environment.
Colorbond® steel lasts for a long time and, thanks to the way they are manufactured, they don’t have to be painted again year after year. You simply choose the colour that best complements your property and that’s it!
Because the colours don’t fade as time goes by so you don’t have to use paints with lead or other harsh chemicals to touch them up and keep them looking their best.
