Corus has gained a top business award for its innovative alloy-coated steel, Neotec.
Corus has gained a top business award for its innovative alloy-coated steel, Neotec.
The commitment to sustainability and environmental best practice by Corus has been recognised by one of Europe's longest established environmental award schemes, Business Commitment to the Environment, which presented Corus with a Premier Award at a ceremony in London.
Corus is a specialist in the production of coated steel products that have applications throughout automotive, construction and consumer markets.
Neotec is a tin-zinc alloy coated steel used for vehicle fuel tanks, which have traditionally been manufactured from either lead-alloy coated steel, or plastic.
Steel's 100% recyclability and emission-free in-use performance make it the environmental product of choice.
Car manufacturers including Lotus, Ford, MG Rover Group and Aston Martin have been quick to realise Neotec's environmental and business benefits and have started to use it in the manufacture of fuel tanks.
Andrew Milner, business manager at Corus's Cookley works comments: "Neotec represents several years of intensive research and development work by Corus and has been specifically designed to help vehicle manufacturers develop emission-free fuel tanks that meet not only future environmental legislation but also tough new European recycling targets".
"We are delighted therefore to receive the Business Commitment to the Environment Award which recognises the huge potential of Neotec to help the global automotive industry address some of the key issues it faces today".
The achievement of Corus reflect the hallmark of the BCE awards - recognition of companies who demonstrate environmental best practice as part of their business processes.
The awards have become established as one of the most prestigious and credible environmental business awards in the UK.
The 2003 Business Commitment to the Environment Awards, sponsored for the first time by AEA Technology, received a record number of almost 200 entries, across a wide range of industry sectors.
Entries for the 2004 awards are now open and all UK companies, large and small, and from any sector are eligible to apply.
