Summary of the lecture
Whenever we walk on the street, we can easily see benches, bus stops, waste bins, streetlamps, … In many cases, street furniture is made of plastic, wood, and/or carbon steel.
Many street furniture manufacturers and the municipalities who purchase from them tend to believe these are a more cost efficient option than stainless steels. This webinar illustrates the true financial and sustainable benefits of stainless steels in street furniture applications using real world examples. Learn why stainless steel urban furniture is a sustainable solution at all times.
At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate the benefits of using stainless steel in urban infrastructure and street furniture.
- Analyze lifecycle cost considerations when selecting materials for public installations.
- Compare stainless steel with alternative materials in terms of durability, recyclability, and maintenance.
- Assess the role of stainless steel in creating sustainable and aesthetically appealing urban spaces.
