Ecological construction

Eco-balanced electrical conduits for more sustainability in construction

With our co2ntrol product family, we are the first manufacturer of eco-balanced electrical installation conduits with a type III environmental label.

The standardised eco-label attests to all properties that are relevant to the sustainability of building products. This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an essential basis for the life cycle assessment of a building. Institut für Bauen und Umwelt e.V. (IBU), an initiative of manufacturers in the building materials industry that is committed to sustainability in construction, awards the eco-label. They consider the entire life cycle of the product during testing.

We use regenerated materials to manufacture the corrugated plastic conduits. This consumes around 60 percent fewer fossil resources such as mineral oil. Additionally, our co2ntrol designs allow us to save up to 47 percent carbon dioxide per running metre as compared to conventional electrical conduits.

Our co2ntrol product family is growing continuously. In addition to the pioneers FBY-EL-F co2ntrol and FFKuS-EM-F-105 co2ntrol, also the cable conduits Kabuflex R plus 750 co2ntrol and Kabuflex R plus 450 co2ntrol feature the environmental product declaration. We thus offer CO2-reduced and resource-saving solutions for a forward-looking electrical infrastructure. The corrugated conduits can be used in the most common applications in the electrical trade - in the ground, in concrete and screed, as well as exposed, concealed or in cavity walls.

co2ntrol – responsible use of plastic

FRÄNKISCHE has been pioneering electrical installation since 1906 and developed the first continuously corrugated plastic conduit in 1959 for which the German Association for Electrical Technologies (VDE) even had to amend its standards. Today, we are the first to offer an eco-balanced conduit and hence prove that plastic does not need to be harmful to the environment but that a responsible use of the material is all that matters here. This is our cause.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

It is about values which we connect with our home.

We plant trees for the forest of the future.

In order to compensate for carbon dioxide emissions during manufacturing, we have planted trees in our home region of Königsberg in Bavaria, Germany.

Analysis of the environmental impact throughout the entire product life

The topic of "sustainability" is gaining more and more importance as a mission statement – also in construction.

Acting sustainably is essential for FRÄNKISCHE to offer perspectives to future generations and to leave them a sound environment. Our structures, processes and systems are thus continuously reviewed and improved within the framework of our certified energy and environmental management systems. In doing so, we reduce CO2 emissions, the use of fossil resources and our amount of waste produced, cut our energy and water consumption, use natural resources sparingly, and develop products which save the environment.
We took great pains to analyse every single element and processing step – the formulation, packaging of materials delivered, dispatch of conduits, and even the consumption of compressed air and cooling water. We use regenerates to manufacture these corrugated plastic conduits. Due to this, we consume around 60 per cent fewer fossil resources such as mineral oil. The co2ntrol conduits help save up to 47 per cent carbon dioxide per running metre as compared to conventional installation conduits.

If you are looking to install a sustainable and environmentally friendly electrical infrastructure, you can use FRÄNKISCHE products with a clear conscience.
