Steel structures in accordance with the principles of the circular economy
Most steel structures follow a linear model: manufacture, use, and eventually scrap. At CUBSY, we’re changing that approach. We design our structures—from ramps and platforms to technological units—based on the principles of the circular economy. Our goal is to ensure that materials retain their value even after their initial purpose has been fulfilled, while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint throughout their entire life cycle.
Our methodology:
Data instead of estimates
Transparency is key for us.
We measure the carbon footprint of every structure using the professional tool FootprintCalc.
Our calculations are based on a scientific approach:
International Standards
We operate in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 and the GHG Protocol methodology.
Scientific databases
We use the most up-to-date data from Idemat 2026 (TU Delft) and the Swiss BAFU:2025 database.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
We track emissions from the extraction of raw materials all the way through to the moment the finished product leaves our production facility.
Inspirovali jsme se oblastí modulárních konstrukcí a potřebami zákazníků řešit (v této době primárně) jejich potřeby v oblasti překonávání bariér. Vznikl tak prvotní nápad – vytvořit stavebnici rampy pro osoby se zdravotním postižením a seniory.
Nápad jsme rozpracovali do projektu a od roku 2021 do roku 2023 probíhal vývoj systému CUBSY – modulární stavebnice. Spolupracovali jsme především s firmou DORPS, která vyvinula mobilní aplikaci CUBSY a Fyzikálním ústavem AV ČR, jehož úkolem bylo provádět veškeré testy prototypů konstrukčních prvků CUBSY.
V závěru roku 2023 jsme dospěli k tomu, že systém CUBSY – konstrukční prvky - jsme schopni vyrábět a distribuovat, byl dokončen vývoj mobilní aplikace a současně jsme zajistili ochranu CUBSY z hlediska duševního vlastnictví.
Od roku 2024 jsem tedy připraveni oslovovat a uspokojovat naše zákazníky a samozřejmě nadále CUBSY zlepšovat a inovovat.
The Circular Economy in Practice:
Turning Steel into a Sustainable Investment
With the CUBSY system, the end of a project does not mean the end of a product’s life cycle. We operate on principles that keep materials in constant circulation:
Smart modularity and reusability
CUBSY structures are not single-purpose welded assemblies, but rather intelligent modular systems.
If you no longer need the ramp, stage, or structure at that location, simply take it apart. You can move the components, reconfigure them, or use them for a completely different purpose.
The greenest steel is the kind that doesn’t need to be remanufactured because it’s reused.
Radical reductions in emissions
The production of new steel is energy-intensive.
By reusing the CUBSY design without the need for melting, approximately 1.4–1.9 t of CO₂e per ton of steel is saved with each subsequent cycle.
After modifying the design, the carbon footprint is reduced to approximately 20% of that of the new design.
This 20% includes design optimization, transportation, disassembly, reassembly, as well as logistics and installation services.
Transparent lifecycle
Our calculator analyzes the five key stages where we optimize the carbon footprint:
Material
Selection of steel with a high recycled content.
Production
Efficient engineering production with minimal waste.
Distribution
Modular packaging saves space during transport and reduces logistics emissions.
Usage
Long service life and low maintenance in all conditions.
End of service life
The moment when the CUBSY structure becomes a new beginning, not waste.
