The Eco-conscious choice: Many innovators also have their carbon footprint in mind when designing solutions for the future. 80/20 is one of the few construction materials that are made from recycled materials, reducing the amount of energy used to actually create the Aluminum material. Aluminum is also naturally rust resistant and will never need painted so it will stay intact until it is ready to be recycled once more. For many reasons, using 80/20 materials is the best choice for innovators worldwide. Not only are they strong, lightweight and versatile, but they will also save you money when compared to the alternative costs of welding equipment, labor, repair, and maintenance.
