- Are extremely durable; depending on the application, their service life can exceed 100 years
- Have a lower carbon footprint than metal alternatives
- Are compatible with green building standards and certifications
- Reduce transportation and installation efforts due to their lower weight
- Are manufactured from recyclable materials, supporting a circular economy
Our metal solutions...
- Resist toughest high-temperature and high-pressure operating conditions
- Are strong and ductile to withstand mechanical stress
- Can be integrated in fully circular material flows
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) are a science-based tool used to evaluate a product's environmental performance over its complete life cycle. LCAs serve as basis for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs are third-party verified statements providing information about the environmental performance of a product or system.
