Schüco Carbon Control is improving the carbon footprint using a combination of environmentally-friendly materials and system solutions. Schüco therefore offers Low Carbon and Ultra Low Carbon aluminium to reduce carbon emissions. Schüco also sets great store in using sustainable material in its PVC-U systems. The standard BALANCED PVC involves production with an inner core made from recycled material or an alternative PVC formulation that makes optimum use of resources. For added sustainability, PVC-U systems in the RECYCLED PVC material class are available. All PVC-U profiles in this material class contain recycled material in the inner core and, depending on the geometry, are supplied with a recycled material content of between 39% and 57%. Schüco also offers bio-attributed PVC as a production material. During its manufacture, crude oil is replaced by tall oil, which is a by-product of paper production. This is a renewable, non-fossil raw material made from pine trees.
Schüco is also aware of its responsibility as a provider of system solutions. That's why Schüco takes on the task of quality assurance for complex projects and enables seamless cooperation with specialist partners.
