Building the Future with TONWERK

OUR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION: LOCAL SOURCING & RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

"Local Raw Materials – Short Transport Routes"

At Tonwerk-Klinker, we rely on locally sourced raw materials. Our clay is extracted from regional quarries in the Westerwald, which helps protect the environment, reduces transport distances, and significantly lowers CO₂ emissions. This ensures that our thin bricks are produced in an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient manner.

RESOURCE-EFFICIENT PRODUCTION: ENERGY-EFFICIENT AT EVERY STEP

"Energy-Efficient Production for a Better Tomorrow"

Our production processes are optimized to minimize energy consumption. We use advanced technologies for heat and water recovery to maximize resource efficiency. Additionally, our thin bricks are manufactured directly in the desired thickness, reducing material usage and further conserving resources.

DURABILITY & CIRCULAR ECONOMY: SUSTAINABILITY FOR GENERATIONS

"Longevity That Lasts for Generations"

Tonwerk thin bricks are known for their exceptional durability, with a lifespan of over 100 years. At the end of their life cycle, they are fully recyclable, supporting our commitment to a circular economy. This reduces waste and ensures a sustainable use of resources throughout the entire lifecycle.

TRANSPARENCY THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION (EPD)

"Clear Environmental Impact"

We provide full transparency regarding the environmental impact of our products. Our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) includes all relevant data, helping architects, planners, and developers make informed decisions for sustainable construction. Together, we contribute to greener building practices.

CO₂ REDUCTION & CLIMATE PROTECTION

"Our Contribution to Climate Protection"

Tonwerk-Klinker is actively committed to climate protection. We use renewable energy sources in our production and continuously work to reduce our carbon footprint. Choosing our thin bricks means selecting a premium product that also supports the fight against climate change.

RECYCLING & REUSE: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FUTURE

"Circular Economy in Action"

Our products are not only long-lasting but also recyclable at the end of their service life. We offer solutions to use recycled material for road and pathways as example. In doing so, we actively support the circular economy and help preserve valuable resources for future generations.

SUSTAINABILITY WITHOUT BIOCIDES: FAÇADES BUILT FOR THE FUTURE

"Longevity Without Toxins"

Unlike many rendered façades that require biocides to prevent algae and mold growth, our thin bricks are naturally weather-resistant and require no chemical additives. When biocides are avoided for environmental reasons, rendered façades often need earlier renovation — a drawback both ecologically and economically. Our brick façades, on the other hand, offer durability, low maintenance, and genuine sustainability – without compromise.
