Events & Awards News SCOTLAND’S JOHN LAWRIE TUBULARS LTD AWARDED QUEEN’S AWARD FOR ENTERPRISE: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2022 A Scottish company has been honoured with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development. John Lawrie Tubulars Ltd is one of 226 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Announced Thursday 21 April, John Lawrie Tubulars Ltd has been recognised for its excellence in Sustainable Development. Employing 38 people with operations in Montrose, Scotland and Scunthorpe, England, John Lawrie Tubulars Ltd is one of the largest purchasers and suppliers of steel tubular products in the UK.
Following the commission in 2020 of a completely bespoke life cycle assessment (LCA) based on its own unique steel tubular management processes, the company can formally detail that for every tonne of its repurposed steel tubulars used there is a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) saving of 97.21% over the production of newly manufactured prime steel products. The report presents the environmental impact and benefits of the repurposing and onward delivery of John Lawrie Tubulars’ products, comparing the impact of repurposed tubulars to that of newly manufactured prime steel products throughout their lifecycle. John Lawrie Tubulars repurposes redundant steel tubulars from the North Sea oil and gas industry as a high-quality alternative to new manufactured prime steel products in the construction piling industry. Extending the life of materials through reuse, repurpose and recycling is at the core of the John Lawrie Tubulars business with the aim of minimising waste, pollution, water and the consumption of finite resources, improving sustainability, reducing environmental impacts and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
