A CITY MADE OF WOOD | PUBLIC AND MUNICIPAL
Ecology, sustainability and an environmentally friendly use of natural resources play a role in public and municipal buildings that is just as crucial as the factors of quality, time and cost. binderholz stands for a sustainable, intelligent use of the raw material of wood and acts according to the zero waste principle. Timber harvesting that is 100% sustainable and the production of green energy in proprietary biomass combined heat and power stations are part of this approach, as are the production of biofuels from by-products and our broad range of solid timber products and construction solutions, which are all recoverable to a large extent and allow for ecological recycling. Numerous reference projects throughout Europe provide evidence that binderholz construction solutions in the public-municipal sphere meet all specific regional requirements and can be easily and economically adapted. Applications range from kindergartens, schools and universities to student dormitories, senior residences and care homes to administrative buildings and public housing.
