Recycling benefits everyone

  • Rockwool’s reduction, reuse and recycling of materials has already paid environmental dividends
  • In accordance with ISO 14021, Rockwool products contain 20-30% of recycled content 1
  • In accordance with WRAP ‘rules of thumb’ Rockwool products contain over 50% of recycled content 2

Not only does our recycling system enable us to provide a waste solution for customers, it enables us to increase the recycled content of the products we produce to the benefit of the environment, increasing production efficiency and diverting waste from landfill. 

However, we are aware that it is by no means ‘job done’.  That is why we are committed to improving the efficiency of our processes and reducing their environmental impact year-on-year. 

We are happy to discuss the individual requirements of contractors and other users considering returning Rockwool material to our factory to be recycled.
