An ecological commitment
Reconstruction in standard exchange requires precision machining that consumes little energy and allows, by recycling the main elements of the organ, to avoid, as is the case with new products: the supply of raw materials, cast iron, steel, aluminum and therefore the enormous energy consumption for the production of these materials and then their transformation.
These energy savings are de facto part of ecology.
