SUSTAINABILITY
Bosfa® gives the highest priority to protecting the environment.
We are well aware of the environmental impact the concrete and steel industries have on the planet. We continuously strive to minimize our environmental impact by focus on #valueengineering and integrating sustainability at all levels of our business
Dramix® will support you on your sustainability journey
1. Less concrete + less steel = less CO2
- Dramix® can reduce the thickness of concrete slabs by 10 to 25%
- Dramix® can reduce the amount of steel by 30 to 50%
By using less concrete and less steel, you significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your project.
2. Longer lasting concrete elements
- Flooring – A concrete floor reinforced with steel fibers is more durable and resistant to wear and tear than traditionally reinforced floors.
- Precast – Precast concrete pipes reinforced with Dramix® steel fibers extend the lifespan of pipe systems by 15 to 20 years, as confirmed by wastewater treatment organizations.
3. No microplastic pollution
- Dramix® steel fibers deliver a microplastic and pollution-free solution, as is increasingly required by government regulations
4. Sustainable transportation
- Significantly reduced transportation required compared to traditional mesh reinforcing
- With a focus on #valueengineering utilizing the additional capacity we get with Dramix® 4D 80/60BG to further reduce the amount of transportation required by getting the most meters out of each container.
5. We are part of sustainable networks
Bosfa want to facilitate transparency and enable our customers to make the best sustainability choice when designing elements and selecting materials and solutions.
All Dramix® steel fibres supplied by Bosfa® have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An EPD is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable data and other relevant environmental information about the life-cycle environmental impact of a product.
Dramix® solutions are available in One Click LCA BIM plugins, and commercial tools to support in achieving LCA certification credits such as Green Star, BREEAM, LEED, Levels, DGNB and others.
