Using heat wisely

• Waste streams do not consist solely of solid waste; they also include wasted heat energy
• Wasted energy doesn’t impact on landfill but is nonetheless a heavy drain on resources

The Rockwool furnaces at the production plant in Bridgend generate heat energy which is captured and transported away by the cooling water flowing around the equipment.  Rather than simply allowing this energy to be wasted, it is used to heat the office spaces and provide hot water across the site.
