Knauf Insulation - Sustainability

Knauf Insulation's 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 (up 50%) in our fiber glass insulation;
• 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."
