Bayer Baustoffwerke Launches Eco-Friendly KS*ReCO Bricks for Non-Load Bearing Walls
Bayer Baustoffwerke is expanding its product range with a new line of non-load-bearing wall bricks, set to further reduce CO₂ emissions. The bricks, named KS*ReCO, are made using recycled materials and locally sourced resources, minimizing transport distances and emissions.
The new bricks boast a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 75.72 kg CO₂ per ton, significantly lower than the average GWP of 126 kg CO₂ per ton. This impressive reduction is achieved through the use of regional raw materials, recycled construction materials, and an optimized production process. KS*ReCO bricks are part of the large-format panel system KS-Plus, suitable for constructing load-bearing walls in multi-story residential buildings.
The company's commitment to sustainability is evident in the production of KS*ReCO bricks. They incorporate recycled concrete sand, replacing part of the sand and lime, further reducing CO₂ emissions in production. Despite their eco-friendly production process, the bricks meet all common safety objectives and requirements for load-bearing capacity and durability, certified under DIN EN 771-2 and DIN SPEC 19458 standards.
Bayer Baustoffwerke's new KS*ReCO bricks offer a sustainable solution for non-load-bearing walls, contributing to reduced CO₂ emissions in the construction industry. With their low Global Warming Potential and compliance with safety standards, these bricks are a valuable addition to the company's product range.
