"INSULATING BUILDINGS IN A RESPONSIBLE AND COMMITTED WAY"
Business World India
|February 25, 2023
ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is made from one of nature's most abundant resources-volcanic rock. Not only is it a natural material, it also boasts a unique combination of benefits and lays the foundation for our business.
-
Over its lifetime, ROCKWOOL building insulation sold in 2022 will save 100 times the carbon emitted and energy consumed in its production which make ROCKWOOL group a net carbon negative company. Through our insulation products, we have a truly significant positive impact on climate change and create opportunities to support communities to build climate change resilience. We calculate and document the positive impact (We call this the handprint of our business) and its contribution to the UN SDGs. There are currently no standard methodologies for calculation the avoided emissions of products, but we have collaborated with a third-party to develop such methodologies.
How ROXUL ROCKWOOL is assisting customers in their sustainability journey?
By many estimates, the construction industry is both one of the world's biggest consumers of raw materials as well as generators of waste. And with a growing demand in society and among our customers to reduce consumption and waste, our ability to recycle our materials and products is increasingly important.
Rockcycle® is the name of our recycling programme, through which we take back stone wool from the market. It is now available in 19 countries with a goal to reach 30 countries by 2030.
