Sustainability in Practice

At Invisible Connections AS, sustainability is about making tangible choices throughout the entire value chain, from product development and material use to energy, packaging, transport and collaboration with suppliers. Our goal is to reduce environmental impact while developing efficient and robust solutions for the precast concrete industry.

Reduced Material Use and Circular Solutions

Our solutions for connecting precast stairs and landings enable slimmer structures and can therefore contribute to reduced concrete consumption.

In developing our solutions, we also work to reduce the use of virgin raw materials. This includes the use of recycled plastic and design improvements that have reduced the amount of steel required compared with previous solutions.

Our solutions are also developed with future disassembly in mind, making it easier for materials to be reused or recycled.

Resource Efficiency and Local Value Creation

We use reusable timber pallets and pallet collars for packaging and have established a return system that allows them to be used multiple times.

Within our own operations, we work continuously with energy efficiency, waste management and recycling. We use electricity from local hydropower plants supplied through Rauma Energi and collaborate with local suppliers of semi-finished components and services.

For transport, we use established transport providers operating Euro 6 vehicles.

Continuous Improvement

Sustainability is an integral part of how we develop both our business and our solutions. Through environmental and quality management, supplier follow-up and continuous product development, we work to reduce resource consumption, waste and environmental impact throughout the value chain.

In short, our aim is to use fewer resources, reduce waste and develop solutions that contribute to more efficient and circular use of materials in concrete structures.
