Determined to continue to lead the way in the sustainable transformation of our industry
As a manufacturer of innovative precast floor systems, VBI offers industrial customization to build the future together with all parties in the chain. Identifying and reducing the environmental impact of our products are key challenges in this regard. We do this with a broad approach through recipe optimization, recycling and reuse.
Data driven decision making
The development of sustainable products and solutions with low CO2 impact is therefore our priority and a key focus. Complex situations require a structured approach.
A first step in understanding and determining the environmental impact of our products is to make a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), using R<THINK environmental software. R<THINK provides insight, offers transparency and allows you to stay in control of the environmental performance of your products.

Performing our LCAs in R<THINK helps us take a critical look at the environmental impact of our raw materials, our suppliers, our energy consumption and possible reuse of raw materials. This allows us to make informed choices about responsible, alternative raw materials and provides us with insight into CO2 reduction opportunities in our products and our production processes.
R<THINK then automatically presents the results in an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) self declaration. A comprehensive report, ideal for easily communicating the environmental performance of our products externally to customers and other stakeholders.
