Sustainability and energy efficiency
At ROCKWOOL, we create products that improve energy efficiency. But we also want to ensure the materials we manufacture, and the ways in which we produce them, are sustainable too.
All our stone wool insulation is made from volcanic rock, one of the earth’s most abundant natural resources.
Our manufacturing techniques include circular economy practices, reprocessing waste from other industries, as well as our own. 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.
After just 200 days, ROCKWOOL insulation will have saved more carbon than was used in its manufacture.
Our party wall insulation can also support improved health and well-being thanks to its ability to limit noise transfer from internal and external sources.
For further information, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for all of the stone wool insulation products manufactured in the UK. To request an EPD for party wall insulation, please contact technical.solutions@rockwool.com.
