CO2-neutral threshold

Published on 10 February 2025

CO2-neutral threshold

Holonite and BUVA introduce a revolutionary CO₂-neutral threshold, manufactured from biocomposite materials such as flax fibers and natural resins. This innovative threshold not only contributes to a lower environmental impact but also enhances the sustainability of construction projects and the future-proofing of the sector.

Sustainable building

As pioneers in sustainable building solutions, Holonite and BUVA join forces to set a new standard in the construction industry. The CO₂-neutral threshold is designed with a minimal ecological footprint while offering high-quality performance in terms of wear resistance, low maintenance, and sturdiness.

What makes this threshold CO₂-neutral?

The production of this threshold uses partly sustainable, environmentally friendly materials and green energy sources. Flax fibers and bio-resin absorb CO₂ during their growth, while the production process causes only limited emissions. This levels out the CO₂ balance, and we are even working towards a CO₂-positive impact by using sustainable energy, such as solar power.

The benefits at a glance

  • Environmentally friendly: Made from natural, renewable raw materials.
  • CO₂ reduction: Reduces the ecological impact of construction projects.
  • High-quality material: Durable and strong without compromising on quality.
  • Low maintenance: Resistant to moisture and easy to maintain.
  • Wear-resistant: Long-lasting performance, even under heavy conditions.
  • Rigidity and stability: Similar coefficient of expansion as glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP).

Specifications

  • Material: Biocomposite with flax fibers and natural resins (including rapeseed).
  • Finish: Water-based coating for extra protection.
  • Tests: Tested for compressive load and stiletto heel resistance.
  • Color: Standard finish in black.
  • Range: Will be available in both BUVA and Holonite ranges.
  • Certification: LCA certification is in development.
  • Availability: First deliveries planned for Q1 2026.
  • Price: Currently a premium solution, further optimization to follow.

Building a sustainable future together

With this CO₂-neutral threshold, Holonite and BUVA take their responsibility in making the construction sector more sustainable. By developing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, we contribute to a circular economy and lower CO₂ emissions.
