Sustainability and the environment are right at the top of the APA agenda. The APA is committed to taking all measures possible to minimise the effect on the environment of all aspects of manufacturing and marketing Aircrete as a product.

The APA sent out a mailer recently urging people within the building industry to visit the website and register online. The tree-shaped mailer was designed as a one-off to get people to register for regular e-shots and updated product and industry information, eliminating the need for future postal mailing and contributing towards the conservation of trees.
