TECU® products from KME are made of copper and copper alloys. Copper is a natural element. Copper products are durable, recyclable and committed to the idea of sustainability "by nature". For the manufacturing of TECU® products, copper is used exclusively from recycled stocks. Copper is 100% recyclable, so there is a huge potential: 90 % of all copper ever extracted and processed worldwide is still in use today.
Building with TECU® is a commitment to sustainability. The environmentally friendly properties of the material are certified according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 (EPD). Building certifications are possible according to LEED, BREEAM and DGNB.
