On the global market, raw materials can typically be obtained from anywhere, and the cost will likely be the dominant factor in terms of purchase.

The production of steel from iron ore is one of the most energy-consuming processes of all, and worldwide transportation further adds to the environmental impact.

LLENTAB is a Swedish company, and our business is mainly in northern and central Europe. Location, in combination with the high ambition of Swedish steel producers to convert to fossil-free production, supports our decision to source our steel predominantly from European suppliers who can provide recycled material to the largest extent possible.

By collecting EPDs from our raw material suppliers and compiling EPDs for the products we manufacture, we have strong knowledge of the climate impact of the manufactured materials.

The process of shaping steel into strong profiles and components in a very solid building framework is done entirely in-house at LLENTAB. Our beams, pillars, and joints and our construction design create the strength required with less material mass. That is a very vital part of our concept’s core sustainability.

Our production flow minimizes spillage, and if spillage still occurs, it is recycled. Waste related to our production flow is also managed and controlled to minimize landfill use and maximize recycling.

By default, our framework does not require painting or coating; it is naturally weatherproof and normally well-protected inside the cladding. The hazardous use of paint and solvents is thus prevented.

We also assemble our frames with screws and nuts, thereby avoiding welding, which also negatively affects the workplace environment.

We meticulously plan and synchronize our deliveries to building sites in order to avoid unnecessary transportation, create ideal conditions for the assembly crew, and cut costs.

When a LLENTAB building’s shell of roof and walls is in place, our part of the job is done, and other craftspeople move in to make the final installations under ideal conditions. We provide an energy-efficient, flexible, and stylish shell that will house just about any kind of activity in the future with a minimum of maintenance; it can easily be unscrewed and recycled into a new life when that day comes.

Once the building is in place, the longevity and the endless possibilities to use the open framework as a supporting structure for additional installations and extensions are the most vital part of our core sustainability.

Today we build our structures by default to take the extra load of photovoltaic panels on the roof. We must think ahead. Several new energy systems will probably replace each other over the lifespan of the building.

Over time, the exterior, the intended use, and the complete interior layout of a LLENTAB building may likely change. But the ingenious steel frame that contains and supports it all will still be the same.
