Resource management lies at the heart of sustainable industry practices. At Baumit, we believe in responsible utilization of raw materials as the first step towards a greener future. With strategically located quarries near our factories, we've significantly cut down on transportation distances, minimizing our carbon footprint.
Smart logistics play a pivotal role in our efforts. Through route optimization and strategic planning, we ensure that materials reach their destination in the most efficient and environmentally friendly manner possible. This not only reduces emissions but also contributes to cost-effectiveness, a win-win for both our company and the environment.
Taking Innovation Further: Repurposing Used Buildings
In our pursuit of sustainable practices, we're exploring innovative possibilities. Converting used buildings into valuable materials for our products is a path we're actively treading. By giving a new life to existing structures, we not only reduce waste but also tap into a rich source of quality resources. This initiative aligns seamlessly with our commitment to circular economy principles. With the development of GO2morrow recycling concrete made from 100% recycled aggregate, Baumit is leading the way as a pioneer. A prime example of successful circular economy and a groundbreaking Cradle-to-Cradle product innovation.
Extending Product Lifecycles: A Key For Circular Economy
Central to our philosophy of resource conservation is the extension of product lifecycles. By engineering products that stand the test of time, we minimize the need for frequent replacements and, in turn, reduce the demand for recycling. This not only conserves resources but also leads to substantial economic savings for our clients.
Saving Resources with the Baumit 3D Printer "BauMinator"
A game-changer in sustainable construction, the Baumit 3D printer "BauMinator" is at the forefront of our innovation. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, constructions built with the "BauMinator" save materials and reduce up to 30-50% of building weight. The ceiling alone makes up for most of the concrete usage of a house and can add up to 80% of the total weight of a building. The static concept of the Bauminator allows you to save up to over 50% material and build more sustainably. This achievement translates to a remarkable CO2e reduction of up to 50%. Learn more.
At Baumit, our commitment to responsible resource management is not just a philosophy, but a tangible, action-driven approach. Through strategic localization, innovative repurposing, product longevity, and groundbreaking technology like the "BauMinator," we're pioneering a paradigm shift in the construction industry.
