Design & production: thinking 4 steps ahead

🡄 Go to sustainability overview

Roughly 70% of our carbon footprint comes from our raw materials, while recycling and waste management make up 25%. Therefore, we want to rethink the way our PIR insulation boards are designed and developed to prevent waste before it starts. How? By making sure our products can easily be recovered and recycled as components for the next insulation systems.
But we don’t stop there; we’re banning waste in our operations as well. Think: energy for manufacturing processes, emissions from company vehicles, heating …

Projects

We’ve been applying the principles of eco-design to reduce waste at the source and have been experimenting with different partners to recover and valorise waste at the end-of-life stage of our insulation boards. As a member of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global initiative that develops methods for effective corporate climate action, we’ve also developped a roadmap to achieving net zero emissions across our own operations.

Designing for reuse & recycling

The majority of our carbon footprint comes from raw materials and waste management. Therefore, we’re applying the principles of eco-design to create systems that are easy to disassemble and recover.

Recycling production scrap

We’re collaborating with partners to collect our manufacturing scrap and recycle it in the production of construction boards.

Achieving Net 0 factories

Our Race to Net Zero is a commitment at group level and consists of a detailed plan to maximise our positive climate impact, boost circular efficiencies and sustain our competitiveness.
