Sustainability and energy efficiency
At ROCKWOOL, we harness the properties of volcanic rock to create products that are highly sustainable as well as high performing.
All our insulation is made from stone, one of the earth’s most abundant natural resources.
We use circular economy practices in our production processes, swapping virgin raw material for recycled content. We take stone, the most abundant natural resource on Earth, and upcycled secondary materials that would otherwise end up as waste and turn them into long lasting stone wool insulation products. These products are themselves recyclable and can be recycled again and again without any deterioration in quality.
Our insulation saves around 100 times more carbon in its lifespan than is used in its production and ROCKWOOL insulation can become ‘net carbon positive’ in less than 200 days.
Our stud wall insulation can also support improved health and well-being thanks to its ability to limit noise transfer from internal sources.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) available for all of the stone wool insulation products manufactured in the UK. To request an EPD for stud wall insulation, please contact technical.solutions@rockwool.com.
