Responsibility, Materials, and the Circular Economy.

Sustainability at Carl Stahl ARC

Using resources efficiently, reducing emissions and creating long-lasting solutions – for Carl Stahl ARC, sustainability is not just a single certificate, but an integral part of every decision. From the choice of materials and regional manufacturing right through to full recycling at the end of a product’s life.

Thinking long-term right from the start

Sustainability as part of our responsibility

The demands placed on sustainable construction are constantly growing. Using resources efficiently, reducing emissions and creating long-lasting solutions are now among the key tasks facing the architecture and construction industries.

For Carl Stahl ARC, sustainability means far more than individual certifications. It begins with the development of our products, continues with the selection of high-quality materials and resource-efficient manufacturing, and does not end with installation. Systems that function reliably for decades retain their value, avoid unnecessary material consumption and help to ensure that buildings remain usable in the long term.
Our Stainless Steel Cable Meshes and Cable Systems combine durability, material efficiency and a high degree of design freedom. Complemented by verifiable environmental and product certifications, we provide a reliable foundation for planners, architects and clients who wish to realise sustainable construction projects.

Choice of Materials

Stainless Steel designed for a long service life

The foundation of sustainable building products is their service life. Stainless steel is highly regarded for its high resistance to corrosion, low maintenance requirements and excellent recyclability. As a result, our systems remain reliable and retain their high-quality appearance even after many years.
Our Stainless Steel Cable Meshes are made of high-quality stainless steel and are designed for long-term use. Thanks to their minimal use of materials combined with high performance, they result in lightweight structures that conserve resources and enable a wide range of architectural solutions.
At the end of its life cycle, stainless steel can be almost entirely returned to the material cycle. In this way, the valuable raw material is preserved and can be used for new products.

Supply Chains

Local production for short transport distances

For us, sustainability also means consciously designing our supply chains. That is why we manufacture our products where they are primarily used.
For the European market, we manufacture at our facilities in Europe. Projects in North America are manufactured in the U.S. This regional production structure allows us to shorten transport distances, increase supply reliability, and respond flexibly to our customers’ needs.
At the same time, our customers benefit from consistently high quality standards, short delivery times, and manufacturing tailored to the respective regional markets.

Credentials & Certifications

Transparency throughout the entire life cycle

Cradle to Cradle Certified®

 

Material Health & Circularity

Our products are assessed according to the requirements of Cradle to Cradle Certified® in the categories of Material Health and Circularity. The focus is on the responsible use of materials and their reuse within the technical cycle. The certification supports circular product development and provides transparency regarding material quality and recyclability.

ProCa Product Passports

 

Our digital product passports, which comply with the ProCa standard, provide comprehensive information on materials, environmental performance indicators, and product characteristics. They assist designers and building owners in evaluating buildings according to DGNB, QNG, and the requirements of the EU Taxonomy, and facilitate the documentation of sustainable construction projects.

EPD – Environmental Product Declaration

 

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for our products. They document a product’s environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle in accordance with internationally recognized standards. This provides designers with reliable data for life-cycle analyses and sustainability assessments of buildings.
