Sustainable residential construction

In Neulußheim in the Rhine-Neckar district, a modern residential neighbourhood consisting of six terraced houses and two apartment blocks with eight residential units is currently being built on a plot of land measuring 2,100 m² in total. The sustainable construction method is reflected not only in the energy concept but also in the sustainable commitment. The SÜLZLE Stahlpartner branch in Bad Schönborn will supply around 200 tonnes of CO2-neutralised reinforcing steel to its partner, Tröndle Bau GmbH, by 2023. The climate protection contribution made by Tröndle Bau per tonne of reinforcing steel will support projects with a positive impact on the global CO2 balance. This is achieved by offsetting the CO2 emissions generated – from the provision of raw materials to delivery to the construction site.

Sustainably implemented

SÜLZLE is aware of its responsibility to minimise the CO2 footprint of its suppliers. SÜLZLE mainly sources reinforcing steel from electric steel production, which already reduces the CO2 footprint by around 70% compared to conventional blast furnace production. In addition, SÜLZLE sources its reinforcing steel from specially selected suppliers. As a result, the CO2 footprint can be reduced by a further 30% compared to standard electric steel production. With CO2-neutralised reinforcing steel, the emissions that cannot currently be reduced are offset by compensation.
