Skellet

Sustainable steel construction

Why is the product or service circular?

Skellet is a steel load-bearing structure for buildings, and it can be completely disassembled. 95% of the parts are be reused immediately, while the remaining 5% are completely recyclable. There’s a high probability that Skellet will be reused. The load-bearing structure can be modified during the lifespan of the building.

Which circular strategies are applied?

• Reduce total amount of materials:Skellet load-bearing structures are on average 50% lighter than traditional steel load-bearing structures with the same stability. The necessity for new steel production is reduced by 50%.
• Extend the useful life: 95% of the parts are directly reusable. There’s a high probability that Skellet will be reused. The load-bearing structure can be modified during the lifespan of the building.
• Maximise the reusability of a product or component: 95% of the parts can be reused immediately. There’s a high probability that Skellet will be reused.
• Maximise the reusability or recyclability of material: The remaining 5% are completely recyclable.

What are the benefits for purchasers?

Skellet steel structures are cheaper than the traditional alternatives. The residual value of the load-bearing structure at the end of the building’s lifespan is high. There’s a high probability that Skellet will be reused or sold via the second-hand market, because Skellet can be used in such a wide range of applications.
