Resources

Sustainable environmental and resource protection is feasible and secures the future for coming generations. Whether aluminium, steel or wood systems: all RAICO products are technically reliable, durable, resource-efficient and recyclable. Our profiles are easy to recycle. Aluminium and steel, for example, can be recycled almost indefinitely. Wooden façade systems even bind large amounts of CO2. We use materials specifically where they offer the greatest ecological and functional benefits.

BEING RESOURCE-CONSCIOUS 

• Low Carbon Aluminium – ‘RLCA’ and ‘RULCA’
  Use of low-carbon aluminium and end-of-life aluminium to reduce CO2 emissions. More

• Recycling circuit
  Returning aluminium to the recycling circuit – even aluminium from dismantled façade and window elements is reused. Find out more in the video

• Passive house standard
  Ecological, sustainable building using energy-efficient RAICO window and façade systems.
  
  
• Minimal use of materials
  Weld-on screw channel for steel façade solutions
  
  
• Charitable commitment
  Active membership in AIUIF e.V.  (German association for Aluminium Environmentally Friendly Recycling for Window and Facade Construction) and DGNB e.V. (German Sustainable Building Council)
