Hero materials

Find out how the cradle-to-cradle principle revolutionised the construction industry and how Baufritz puts this philosophy into practice.  

Prof. Michael Braungart, renowned process engineer and co-pioneer of the cradle-to-cradle principle, emphasises the importance of sustainability and quality in the construction industry. As CEO of the Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency Internationale Umweltforschung GmbH in Hamburg, he is committed to eco-friendly construction. Together with architects and designers such as William McDonough, he developed the cradle-to-cradle principle that aims to completely return all materials to the biological cycle.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Baufritz, we believe that building ecologically is not only possible, but essential. The cradle-to-cradle principle inspires us to continuously improve our products and processes and strive to protect the environment. A special focus here is on the use of building materials that are environmentally friendly and a holistic, ecological approach to construction. By building houses with high-quality materials and avoiding harmful chemicals, we protect both their occupants’ health and the environment.

Advantages of building with Baufritz

OUR “HOIZ” NATURAL INSULATION

A key aspect of the cradle-to-cradle principle is the idea that products should be beneficial. We implement this philosophy consistently when it comes to developing our products. For example, our patented insulation material “HOIZ” was the first natural product of its kind in the world that not only provides good insulation, but is made without solid wood, thereby minimising its carbon footprint.
