Building a Healthy Environment

Looking ahead...

"Integral chain management" means 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 involved here, but also product-related matters such as maintenance, transport or demolition. 

Trespa was one of the first manufacturers of construction products to map the totality of 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. Particularly in the recycling of raw materials and recovering energy, Trespa is one of the most environmentally friendly products for rain screen cladding.

Designing for the Future

• Optimum sizes of panel to reduce waste
• Sawing programes 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     

Ecologically Sound Production Starts with the Raw Materials

• 70% softwood content from European renewable forests
• Inert binding agents derived mainly from residual substances
• Dyes which are metal free         

Beneficial Processes

• Improving the whole production process
• Recyling waste from semi-finished or finished products
• Using thermo-recycling to recovery energy
• Ensuring emissions and discharge are within acceptable limits
• Eliminating toxic and corrosive gases
• Improving reduction of waste, storage and delay  
• Organizing efficient delivery and optimum routes.
