The mobile shelving provided is one of the first large-scale projects with Bruynzeel GreenSteel®. This steel has the lowest CO2 impact currently available. Bruynzeel is one of the world's most sustainable producers of storage systems for libraries and museums.
Like many other universities, the University of St Andrews is facing growing student numbers and limited suitable space for study and work spaces. St Andrews wants to use its existing buildings and spaces wisely and efficiently to contribute to its sustainability vision of achieving net zero by 2035.
The University of St Andrews consciously chose Bruynzeel GreenSteel. This steel produces CO2 savings of more than 90% compared to the usual standard in the market. This currently makes it the most sustainable steel. To offer this, Bruynzeel is currently collaborating with Arcelor Mittal and their accredited XCarb® certificates. The next goal is to be able to use hydrogen-produced steel within the next 7 years - Bruynzeel GreenSteel 2.0. This represents the next major step towards climate-neutral steel. Bruynzeel's ambition is to significantly increase its production mix with GreenSteel in the coming years.
