100% Post-Consumer Recycling
To Combat The Problem Of Waste And CO2 Emissions
Post-Consumer Recycling is the latest buzzword. TTE® MultidrainPLUS has been manufactured entirely using waste plastic (Green Dot) from German households since 1997.We currently recycle an annual volume equivalent to around 10 million recycling bags of waste plastic for TTE®.The current production of TTE® saves over 40,000 metric tons of CO2 per year which would be generated in incineration plants if it were not for this recycling process. At the end of their useful life, the product life cycle is closed – old TTE® elements are used to make new ones.
Saves energy and resources which would otherwise be required to manufacture new plastics. Furthermore, this prevents the plastic waste from finding its way into our environment and oceans and polluting them with microplastics.With the TTE® system, HÜBNER-LEE contributes not only to the sustainable use of resources and waste, but also cuts down on the emission of greenhouse gases.
Sustainable Construction Elements
With Certified Carbon Footprint
Since September 2021, the TTE® system has had an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). The EPD was verified by the independent Institute for Building and the Environment (IBU) and maps all environmentally relevant emissions of the product cycle. In this way, a holistic CO2 balance can be shown for buildings.The results of the life cycle assessment show that CO2 emissions in the product cycle are many times lower than with conventional concrete paving elements.
