L’innovazione tecnologica dei serramenti verso “modelli di produzione e consumo sostenibili”

An imposing framework of European Community and national legislation, binding or guiding, pushes the rethinking of all building products towards increasingly green, sustainable, and circular solutions. The segment investigated, returning to it with a different perspective after five years, is the windows, a product sector certainly in constant evolution to sustainable models of production and consumption. The request of the answerable use of raw materials and production energy, of a waste reduction and greenhouse gas emissions, has concerned the conception of this building component orienting an increasingly conspicuous part of the production lines near modular and flexible solutions, that make use of multiple materials in the composition of the various constituent parts - core, reinforcements/thermal breaks, covers, gaskets, glass, edge channel - that experiment the opportunity for even partial disassembly and open up themselves to performance and aesthetic customization. The aim is to verify the contribution provided by virtuous production chains of PVC windows that accept the 5R strategy for a responsible waste management in line with objective 12 of the 2030 Agenda and, more generally, are conscious of the energy-environmental problems of our planet.
