Sustainability that saves labour
We know that time, simplicity and safety matter – which is why we offer durable, robust systems that save on materials, are quick to install and do not require complex disposal procedures. At the same time, you benefit from products that promote healthy living and a closed-loop recycling system that reduces effort and creates added value..
Sustainability is not a promise. It's a figure.
We demonstrate what we can substantiate. IBU-verified environmental product declarations, CO₂ sequestration balances, recyclable materials — not because it is required, but because it is the right standard.
Our fibre gypsum boards and flooring elements store more CO₂ through the products themselves than is emitted during their manufacture. This is not a marketing claim — it is a figure set out in black and white in our EPD.
You can find all the relevant figures in detail in our EPDs
*kg CO₂e/m²
Gypsum. Recycled paper. Water. That’s all it takes. No glues, no binders, no harmful additives — right from the start, not just as a sustainability trend.
Anything that is not used in construction is returned to the cycle. Production waste from the manufacture of fibre gypsum board and offcuts from our customers are fully recycled and reused without any wastage.
All the necessary documents available for download in one place
We understand your requirements regarding tenders, certifications and robust evidence – which is why we provide EPD-verified data, CO₂ figures and verified building certification compatibility. This makes sustainability something you can plan for and measure, and turns it into a real lever for successful projects and greater success in tenders.
Did you know?
We are committed to a consistently circular materials strategy and have been awarded Silver certification under the Cradle to Cradle Certified® standard in its latest and most rigorous version, 5.0 – robust evidence of material health, recyclability and responsible value creation.
