Why is Carbon Footprint Important?

Why is Carbon Footprint Important ? 

        As the world faces urgent challenges such as global warming and climate change, the concept of Carbon Footprint has become a crucial part of the sustainability conversation.
        A Carbon Footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities. From transportation and electricity consumption to manufacturing and daily lifestyle choices, every action contributes to our planet’s environmental impact.
        These emissions accumulate in the atmosphere, leading to rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and long-term environmental, social, and economic consequences.

Types of Carbon Footprint

1. Direct Emissions 

  Emissions from sources directly controlled by us, such as vehicles, industrial machines, or fossil fuel combustion.

2. Indirect Emissions 

  Emissions resulting from energy and resources we consume indirectly, such as electricity from fossil fuels or raw materials with high environmental costs.

Understanding these categories helps us identify opportunities to reduce our environmental impact through smarter choices and sustainable materials.

LIXIL and Low-Carbon Aluminum Innovation

        At LIXIL, we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by developing sustainable aluminum solutions that contribute directly to eco-friendly construction. Our low-carbon aluminum profiles, PremiAL R70 and PremiAL R100, are designed to meet the growing demand for green building materials.
  PremiAL R70: Contains 70% recycled aluminum.
  PremiAL R100: Made from 100% recycled aluminum.

When compared with conventional primary aluminum, these innovations can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 55% and 80%, respectively.


What Makes PremiAL Different ?

  Real-world application : Not just a concept, but a certified low-carbon product available in the market today.
  Sustainable innovation : Minimizes the use of virgin resources while drastically reducing the Carbon Footprint of aluminum production.
  A choice for the future : Architects, developers, and consumers can now choose premium-quality, eco-friendly aluminum that supports sustainable building design.


Small Choices, Big Impact

        Reducing the Carbon Footprint is not only a global mission it starts with every decision we make. By choosing low-carbon aluminum like PremiAL R70 and R100, we are taking concrete steps toward sustainable construction and a greener future for generations to come.


Every choice matters. Together, we can build a future where sustainability is the standard, not the exception.
