Life Cycle Analysis

"Integral chain management" is the process of researching, drawing conclusions and taking measures to place as little pressure as possible on the environment during the entire life-cycle of a product. Not only is the product itself involved, but also product-related matters such as maintenance, transport or demolition. 

Trespa was one of the first manufacturers of construction products to map for specific product types its' products effects by means of a life-cycle analysis (LCA), right from the source of the raw materials to the end of the life-cycle.

Designing for the Future

  • Optimum sizes of panel to reduce waste
  • Sawing programmes designed to reduce waste  
  • Preferred panel thicknesses to reduce sub-frames
  • Optimum cavity depth and insulation to reduce energy loss
  • Methods to reduce cleaning and maintenance.                   

The important environmental characteristics of Trespa's products are:

  • Trespa's facade system allows for thicker insulation and therefore lower energy costs.
  • Trespa Meteon is durable and long lasting allowing the need for fewer products over the life of the building.
  • Meteon can be fixed on existing walls, allowing the builder the freedom to redesign the building without demolition.
  • The magority of the raw materials used are rapidly renewable materials.
  • Material returned to Trespa, as well as residual materials from production can be recycled for the production of new Trespa panels.
  • Trespa waste material can be removed easily.  It can be recycled, thermally recycled in a common industrial incinerator. All in accordance with national or local disposal regulations. 
  • Safe in use 

Beneficial Processes

  • Improving the whole production process  
  • Ensuring emissions and discharge are within acceptable limits
  • Improving reduction of waste, storage and delay
