Why sustainability and performance are not a contradiction.
In industry, the rule is often: more performance means more material, more energy, more CO₂. HycoFusion® breaks this connection.
Through the intelligent combination of metal and wood, HycoFusion® achieves both at once — sustainability becomes the basis of performance, not its opposite.
The principle: Less material — more impact
CO₂ footprint across the entire life cycle
HycoFusion® reduces emissions in every phase:
Manufacturing
Lower metal content → less energy → fewer emissions at the manufacturer.
Operation (Mobility)
Lighter profiles → less energy consumption → lower CO₂ emissions over the entire service life.
End of Life
Reversible connection → metal and wood separable and therefore fully recyclable.
Figures that speak for themselves
Up to
50%*
CO₂ reduction in manufacturing compared with a pure metal profile
Up to
50%*
metal savings at comparable stiffness
Up to
180%
increase in stiffness compared with the reference aluminium profile
Up to
235%
increase in energy absorption compared with the reference aluminium profile
Recycling
Reversibly joined
and separable into individual material streams
*depending on application, profile geometry, metal content and reference construction.
The answer to the key question
With HycoFusion®, sustainability is not added afterwards — it is part of the design.
The wood core creates lighter, stiffer, and more resource-efficient solutions with a lower CO₂ footprint. Intelligent hybrid design replaces mass with function.
