The manufacturer of some of our eco-friendly insulation products, Knauf Insulation, was an exhibitor at the International Builders Show last week in Orlando, Fla. Based in Shelbyville, Ind., “supplies sustainable high performance insulation products for enhanced energy efficiency in buildings.”
At the residential building industry’s largest trade show, Knauf Insulation highlighted several achievements in the past year that demonstrates the company’s commitment to the environment, including:
- Use of recycled glass bottles (up 50%) in our fiber glass insulation;
- Reclamation 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. –buildersshow.com
