Environmental Performance

Achieving more with less material. The strength of steel enables slender and elegant designs without compromising on stability and durability. This philosophy not only promotes sustainability, but also inspires innovative construction methods that set new standards in modern architecture.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Efficient use of materials thanks to slim profiles.
• No impairment of stability and durability despite material efficiency.
• Contribution to a more sustainable future through intelligent use of materials.

Made for eternity. The longevity of steel is impressively demonstrated by historical masterpieces such as Art Nouveau railway stations or the Eiffel Tower. In addition to lasting aesthetics, such durability promises functionality for future generations. 

The Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) certify that steel doors and windows from Jansen have a service life of 75 years and steel facades, such as the Jansen VISS facade, even have a service life of 100 years. In addition, steel remains efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance even with intensive use. This verified longevity makes steel the ideal material for high-traffic buildings. Perfect for public and commercial buildings subject to heavy use. 

The most important facts in a nutshell: 

• Steel is durable, robust, and timeless. 
• Even with intensive use, steel remains efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance. 
• With the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Jansen confirms a 100-year service life for the VISS facade.

Resistant, reliable, stable. Steel guarantees all this even under extreme conditions. Doors made of steel always remain functional and dimensionally stable, regardless of whether they are exposed to heat or cold. There is hardly any unwanted deformation due to temperature fluctuations. This makes steel ideal for exterior doors, as they are exposed to extreme weather conditions. 

The ability of steel to retain its shape and functionality over a wide temperature range represents a long-term and sustainable investment in reliability and security. 

The most important facts in a nutshell: 

• Steel doors remain functional and dimensionally stable, regardless of heat or cold. 
• Ideal for exterior doors that are exposed to extreme weather conditions.

The benchmark of the circular economy. Steel can be recycled an infinite number of times without any loss of quality. Thanks to its magnetic properties, it can be efficiently and easily extracted from waste streams and collected for reuse. The melting process effectively removes impurities so that material of the same quality is recovered from recycled steel. This makes the recycling process much easier and turns steel into an economically and ecologically viable material that contributes to the creation of a green circular economy. 

The most important facts in a nutshell: 

• Steel can be recycled an infinite number of times without any loss of quality. 
• Conserves resources and minimizes waste production. 
• Environmentally friendly and quality-preserving recycling process. 
• Efficient and effortless extraction from waste streams thanks to magnetic properties. 
• Melting process effectively removes impurities, allowing steel of the same quality to be reused. 
• Contributes to the creation of a closed material cycle that combines environmental protection and economic efficiency. 

The basis for environmentally friendly production. Steel meets the requirements of a sustainable future. The material cycle of steel already contains almost 25% recycled material. The recycled material can be actively integrated into the production of cold-rolled profiles. This makes a significant contribution to conserving resources and reduces the ecological footprint of steel production. 

Jansen attaches great importance to having this high proportion of recycled material in its steel products regularly confirmed by its suppliers. This verification ensures transparency and credibility. The use of recycled steel not only conserves natural resources, but also increases the sustainability and efficiency of production processes. In this way, steel meets the requirements of a sustainable future. 

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Jansen's steel material cycle is based on a high recyclate content of almost 25%. 
• Jansen regularly has a high proportion of recycled material in steel products, as confirmed by suppliers.
