Aluminium lighting columns are 100% recyclable.
Grace lighting columns are made of at least 95% recycled aluminium. Environmental friendliness is also an important condition in the development of column accessories. An example is the LDPE protector, which is made of 100% recycled material and is fully recyclable. The root section protector can easily be separated from the column.
Aluminium lighting poles are high residual value
When aluminium lighting poles are replaced (e.g. at the end of their useful life), they can be returned to Grace pole products. In recent years, the scrap value of clean aluminium has fluctuated between Euro 0,79/GBP 0,59 and Euro 1,70/GBP 1,27 per kilogram, which represents 7-15% of the purchase value, depending on the column weight and the current scrap price. The scrap value fluctuates and depends on such factors as the price of aluminium on the world market. Besides is the material 100% recyclable, whereby a lighting pole can be melted into a new lighting pole, the so called cradle-to-cradle principle!
have a light weight
The specific weight of aluminium is approximately 33% of that of steel. The typical weight of a column with a column height of 6 meters is approximately 20 kilograms. Light weight is an advantage as less kilos of metal are needed then in case of a steel column. This is an important thing to think of when durability and environmental friendliness are important factors in buying columns.
Aluminium lamp poles are long lifespan
The lifespan of an aluminium lamp pole is very long, especially if the root section is effectively preserved and the column is installed with care. The corrosion protection tape Grace pole products applies, protects the ground portion of the column. The tape is extensively tested by TNO (a Dutch independent research organization) to make sure that the protection around the ground portion meets the European norms for lighting columns, the EN 40-6. Optimal protection can be obtained by means of our ground level protector. A forty-year lifespan is not exceptional. The aluminium lamp poles supplied by Grace pole products satisfy all relevant norms, such as EN40-3-3.
