NOVO-TECH, with approx. 160 employees, is Europe's largest manufacturer of wood plant openings with the best suitability for outdoor use. Since 2007, state-of-the-art products with a production capacity of approx. 35,000 tons per year have been developed from innovative ideas at the production site in Aschersleben. megawood® is a brand of the company NOVO-TECH GmbH & Co. KG
This wood-based material is the basis of all megawood® products, such as decking boards, facade elements, fencing systems and structural timber. It has a natural fiber content of up to 75%, which is unique in the world, and comes from wood chips produced in the regional planing and sawing industry. This is bound by combination with high-quality and environmentally friendly polymers and additives to a building material, which is durable by its weathering resistance and robustness in the external application and several times recyclable as well as serves as a durable CO2 depot.
GCC products enable healthy, sustainable construction at the highest quality level. The "Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold" certification not only confirms the endless recyclability, but also the harmlessness of all ingredients. In the category "Material Health" even the best possible status "Platinum" was achieved. This makes the GCC wood material one of the top 20 certified building materials worldwide and fulfills the criteria for sustainable construction and green building according to the DGNB system, LEED and BREEAM.
At NOVO-TECH, all GCC wood-based material products go through a technical cycle so that new products are made from them again and again. To ensure the circular economy, NOVO-TECH has installed a special take-back system, which will be further expanded with the commissioning of the new state-of-the-art production facility NOVO-TECH Circular & Co. KG will be expanded even further. Under the motto "Lease instead of buy" NOVO-TECH introduces the usage contract as a new business model based on the right of usufruct. In addition to the classic purchase contract, the contract ensures 100% repatriation of the material and makes it possible to be the owner of a terrace without having to worry about disposal later. At the end of the useful life of 30 years or, if desired, even earlier, NOVO-TECH takes back the GCC product to produce new products from it.
