EcoFusion®

EcoFusion® is as simple as it is ingenious! An aluminum, steel or plastic profile is firmly bonded to a wooden core without adhesive to form a high-performance hybrid material.

By combining the advantages of the respective material properties, application-optimized solutions can be developed that bring significant improvements in terms of ecology and technical performance. The lightweight material wood thus helps to save up to 50% of the original material content while maintaining the same performance.

EcoFusion® is suitable for load-bearing and highly stressed structures. It can be used to create rigid, strong, impact-resistant, lightweight, fire- and weather-resistant solutions in the construction sector, mechanical engineering, plant engineering and vehicle construction.

EcoFusion®makes a significant contribution to achieving eco-political goals such as Paris 2050:

Wood is an important, sustainable and, above all, renewable raw material.

One way to create a CO2 reduction is to increase the use of wood in a wide range of applications and thus replace other materials with a negative CO2 balance.

According to Hanewinkel, consistent implementation of this goal in the European economic area could save around 90 million tons of CO2 per year.

EcoFusion®alu

Aluminium

With a ratio of 1kg aluminum / 6kg CO2-equivalent, every kilogram of material saving counts on the way to achieving the targeted climate goals.

With EcoFusion®alu, at least 35% aluminum can be substituted by the ecological material wood while maintaining or even increasing technical performance.

EcoFusion®steel

Steel

With a ratio of 1kg wood / 10kg steel, EcoFusion®steel can advance into lightweight construction applications that were previously reserved for light metals.

We combine the advantages of the bulk materials wood and steel and also save a lot of CO2.

EcoFusion®plastics

Plastics

With a ratio of around 1/3 of the mechanical properties of plastic to wood, EcoFusion®plastics enables a significantly wider range of applications for mechanically stressed plastic profiles in interior and exterior areas. Here we boost the properties of plastic and also save a lot of CO2.
