Sustainability

Although Millard is typically chosen for their reputation of quality, its environmental footprint has become of growing importance. Millard uses Aluminum comprised of at least 75% recycled content, including greater than 25% post-consumer content. Greater recycled content translates to a global reduction in bauxite mining. It also requires 95% less energy when compared to extraction processes of virgin Aluminum.

The durability of Aluminum results in a longer lifespan compared to Fiberglass (GRP). A Millard tower will typically last between 25 and 30 years, although it is not uncommon to see a 40+ year old tower in the field. This results in fewer replacements of a tower and its infrastructure and subsequently, greatly reduces usage of our Earth’s finite resources.

When the lifecycle is complete, Millard towers can be easily recycled as they are made from Aluminum that is 100% recyclable. While other materials boast recyclability, Aluminum has a mature secondary market with widely available, local recycling facilities. This compares to Fiberglass (GRP) products that typically end up in a landfill or require scarcely found specialized recycling facilities.
