Linetec's anodize finishing for aluminum has earned a Declare Label as Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List Free. This means that Linetec's anodize finishing is in full compliance with the highest level of LBC criteria established through the International Living Future Institute (ILFI).

Declare is a voluntary self-disclosure program of the ILFI that aims to transform the building materials industry toward healthier products through ingredient transparency. It reviews complex chemical analysis and raw material source location information and provides a "nutrition label" for architecture firms, corporations, municipalities, consumers, and high-profile LBC projects.

The Declare Label for Linetec's anodized aluminum lists a life expectancy of 40 years and indicates that there are no applicable VOCs associated with the product. At the end of its life on a building, the finished aluminum is 100% recyclable.
