Our Sustainability
Commitment
To supply sustainable high performance insulation products for
enhanced energy efficiency in buildings, we continually strive for
improvements in both manufacturing operations and product design.
The result is a track record for products with
leading quality and sustainability benefits. All Knauf Insulation
production locations have state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment
supported by an ongoing research and development program. Some of
our recent achievements include:
- Use of recycled glass bottles in our glass wool insulation
products is in excess of 60%;
- Reclaimation and reuse vented heat at our factories;
- Development of the most advanced compression packaging
technology in the world to reduce the transport emissions of our
distribution operations, and for our customers;
- Development of revolutionary ECOSE® Technology to
replace petroleum-based chemicals (e.g. phenol and formaldehyde)
used in traditional insulation, leading to a 70% reduction in
binder embodied energy.
