Pit waste

• Molten waste from the Rockwool process can be used as a building substrate when it has cooled and hardened
• A substantial amount of this material was used in building the recent extension to the Bridgend factory
• In addition, Rockwool provides this material to local landowners for the creation of pathways and driveways on their property

Waste from the manufacturing process was used in the recent factory expansionFollowing this successful reuse, Rockwool is now investigating other possible uses for the material in construction.
