1 Raw materials go into the silos, up to 84% of which is recycled glass. 2 Our advanced melting and fiberizing processes use 35% less energy and emits 37% less carbon compared to seven years ago. 3 Fiberizing process spins the molten glass into thin fibres. 4 The fibres are then formed into the finished insulating material. 5 The insulation is cut to size, with any waste recycled back into the system. 6 The product is compression-packed to one-ninth of its original volume. 7 Products are palletised, with the maximum amount of product on each pallet. 8 Our dedicated fleet of efficient vehicles delivers our products nationwide.

Our manufacturing facility in Stirling, Scotland is equally dedicated to making a positive environmental contribution. Benefiting from one of the biggest investments the insulation sector has seen in recent years, it’s one of the most advanced insulation manufacturing plants in Europe. We use lean production techniques making insulation to order, rationalising the raw materials we use, and minimising waste. In fact, we apply ‘wasteless’ principles to everything we do, using the latest technologies to reduce energy consumption and maximise the secondary use of resources.

Production to protect the environment Fully certified to ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems (EMS), our manufacturing facility in Scotland is one of the most advanced in Europe, designed to help protect the environment,
using lean production techniques and waste elimination principles throughout the process. The latest technologies reduce energy consumption, whilst water usage is monitored on cloud-based sensors to identify and reduce leakage. New water filtration systems re-use wastewater in our process, reducing our need for fresh water and avoiding dirty water being discharged into sewer systems. Any fibre waste is also recycled straight back into the system.
