Sustainability

Mesh & Bar are committed to an environmentally sustainable future and to achieve that goal we are currently in process of seeking compliance to the Steel Sustainability Australia (SSA) certification program.

The SSA certification program engages all elements of the Steel supply chain to establish best practice in sustainable operations in steel manufacturing, fabrication and processing.
