Superior Sustainability Q: Why are products made with ECOSE Technology more sustainable than the comparable standard available products?
All Knauf Insulation mineral wool products are inherently sustainable — they have high recycled and renewable content and save hundreds of times more energy in use than required to manufacture them. Products made with ECOSE Technology are even more sustainable because: – they are manufactured from naturally occurring and/or recycled materials raw materials and bonded using a bio-based technology free from formaldehyde, phenols, acrylics and with no artificial colours or dyes added. – they contribute to improved indoor air quality of buildings compared to traditional mineral wool since there is no formaldehyde or phenol used – they have the added benefit of using a binder, which is up to 70% less energy intensive than traditional binders and thus reduce the impact on the environment – pollutant manufacturing emissions and workplace exposures are reduced, and the overall sustainability of buildings in which they are incorporated is improved – they are cost competitive with our traditiona
