Why Is James Hardie® Siding an Eco-Friendly Choice?

James Hardie® siding is a world-class product known for durability and outstanding lifespan. Furthermore, it’s an eco-friendly choice for homeowners who wish to reduce the environmental impact of their humble abode. 

In this post, we discuss the qualities that make James Hardie siding an environment-friendly option.

Sustainable Raw Materials

Fiber cement uses non-toxic, recyclable and durable materials, including sand, Portland cement and water. Because of this, fiber cement siding is more sustainable than vinyl and other materials. Plus, James Hardie siding can last for 30 years, minimizing the need for replacement. 

Cleaner Air

James Hardie siding is well-known for its long-lasting finish. The manufacturer applies siding color to materials inside controlled environments. This process eliminates the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced when the siding is painted just before installation.

Commitment to Local Communities

James Hardie focuses on improving local economies by using the resources in the area. For example, the company employs locals for administrative tasks, material sourcing, transport and others to boost local activities. Their local focus reduces air pollution and fuel consumption during production and transportation.

Effective Resource Management

James Hardie is committed to maintaining accurate resource management during manufacturing. It recycles water four times for manufacturing, optimizes delivery routes and minimizes its material use where possible. For example, the company reduces fuel consumption and air emissions by prioritizing rail shipping.

Long-Term Environmental Dedication

James Hardie is dedicated to ensuring all its products have sustainable solutions. It continuously invests in innovations that lengthen product lifespan, durability and protective capability. That said, its customers receive long-term exterior protection, and James Hardie products contribute less to landfill waste.
