Iron

  • As with many production processes, the Rockwool manufacturing process generates by-products 
  • One of these by-products is pig iron, which is drawn off the furnace at regular intervals

Rather than treating this as waste for disposal, Rockwool has worked with other industries to find a reuse route for the material locally, where it can be melted down into new products.
