Building a Healthy Environment

"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.
