James Hardie and the environment: A lasting commitment.

James Hardie is committed to reducing its environmental impact. Developing our environmental policy includes precisely analysing the production process and life cycle of James Hardie® products according to specific environmental criteria, such as our carbon footprint, energy consumption, water reuse, and noise levels.

This policy has resulted in considerable reduction in the quantity of water and raw materials used during the production stages and significantly lowering amounts of waste onsite. In addition, our suppliers are located near our production plants, thereby helping to reduce the total carbon footprint.

Thanks to the changes implemented as part of this policy, builders, architects, and homeowners who use James Hardie® products can rest assured that our products meet strict standards for sourcing raw materials, levels of waste during production, energy management and much more.

James Hardie® products also keep waste to a minimum during and after installation. For example, our cladding solutions are factory-coated, meaning reduced waste on the building site, and low maintenance, as the paint will not chip. All James Hardie® products are built to last, so you can be certain of delivering a durable, high-quality project every time.
