Sustainable aluminium Windows and facades for Schuco Bielefeld/Munich. 360 Sustainability”and green building is a holistic perspective Schuco. This includes the support of investors, architects, developers, and partners in all phases of the project from the first idea until the dismantling of a facade.

For aluminium Windows and facades for a powerful recycling organisation under the umbrella of A/V/F in Germany was reactivated 2011 through certified recyclers. Be so old aluminum high quality profiles made as often and with high energy efficiency. In connection with long-life, facades and aluminum compared to other materials are ecological equivalent with functional and economic advantages.
