Discover our holistic sustainability approach: https://brnw.ch/21wGpSF
When looking at the life cycle of a building, the upfront emissions represent one-third of overall CO2 emissions.
Therefore, we aim to reduce half our CO2 emissions by 2025. We are going beyond recycled low-carbon aluminium products to achieve this goal because we know we can make a difference.

As and have a major impact on a product‘s environmental footprint, we aim to reduce the resulting carbon emissions by 50% by 2025.
To achieve this goal, we are optimising our transport routes by shortening distances, but also investing in our truck technology to use our resources more efficiently. Furthermore, we not only reduce our packaging but also reuse it to minimise consumption.
Discover how we drive decarbonisation forward: https://brnw.ch/21wG9fg
The most efficient way to reduce the operational emissions of buildings is to offer high-performance products to optimise energy consumption once the building enters the use phase. Produced using at least 75% recycled and 95% recyclable content, our high-performance products are easily , and .
By using responsibly sourced and recycled material, such as our low-carbon aluminium Hydro CIRCAL and our recycled polyamide, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of our aluminium by 50% and that of our accessories by 35% by 2025.

To be truly sustainable, we must look to a world beyond four walls – starting right now. To reach our goal of 100% by 2025, we must go beyond materials to reduce carbon emissions in the use phase.
Therefore, we design high and products made of our low-carbon aluminium Hydro CIRCAL. But we also optimise the delivery and packaging of our products and use more and content. This allows us to reduce our carbon footprint in the use phase of the buildings.

Sustainability is a part of everything we do. Therefore, we simply go beyond and run every part of our business as sustainably as possible with clear targets, to be transparent all the way.

Park Kneževa, or translated Princes' Park, rightly bears its name as an exceptional project of the highest quality and architectural value. On a space neglected and devastated for years, an oasis of living has been created in the centre of Zagreb, Croatia, in cooperation with the renowned architectural company Studio 3LHD.
This project follows the highest standards of green construction and cares for the environment, from collecting rainwater used for irrigation and waste disposal systems to installing the highest quality materials, equipment, and technical solutions that ensure low energy consumption.
Therefore, we have provided our high-performance WICSLIDE sliding systems and WICTEC façade systems made of low-carbon aluminium Hydro CIRCAL 75R, which contains a minimum of 75% recycled, post-consumer scrap.

The new "iCampus Rhenania" is being built very close to Munich's Ostbahnhof station. Seven buildings will be arranged around the listed former administrative building of the Rhenania company, which was located on the site in the 20th century, forming an ensemble of old and new buildings with a strong contrast: the mineral, light-coloured, neoclassical existing building on the one hand and the black, metallic and minimalist new building on the other.
A customised construction based on the WICLINE 75 evo window series and the WICLINE 75 MAX window was used here.

Together, we drive decarbonisation forward by using our recycled, end-of-life aluminium Hydro CIRCAL solutions for the ORF Mediencampus!
The new building complex on the ORF Mediencampus is a key component of the journalistic infrastructure, bringing together media production and the offices in one place. The three-part complex echoes the horizontal lines of the surrounding buildings and is thus harmoniously integrated into the existing urban structure.
The chosen façade solution from WICONA is also outstanding because all elements are made from our recycled, end-of-life aluminium Hydro CIRCAL. Thanks to its low carbon footprint of 2.3 kg of CO2e/kg of aluminium, we reduced the CO2 emissions by 180 tons which represents around 20 flights around the world.

Van der Valk Hotel Venlo is a textbook example of circular construction, innovation and design. On behalf of Byldis Facades, we have supplied an aluminium façade with integrated LED lighting, frames, windows and sliding doors, which were modified precisely according to the architect’s wishes Quant Architectuur.
The sustainable approach was implemented very consistently by using our system solutions made from recycled, end-of-life aluminium Hydro CIRCAL. Thanks to its low carbon footprint, we reduced the CO2 emissions by 110 tons, which represents around 12 flights around the world.

Since 2019, we are using our end-of-life aluminium Hydro CIRCAL 75R, made of at least 75% post-consumer scrap, to build cities beyond tomorrow. This was an important step to actively participate in the decarbonisation of tomorrow‘s buildings.
With our near-zero carbon aluminium Hydro CIRCAL 100R, made of 100% post-consumer scrap, we are going one step beyond.
With this innovation, we will be able to build buildings that leave almost no carbon footprint and the first one is already underway.
