Reducing our landfill burden

• Rockwool uses large quantities of by-products from other sectors, helping to solve a worldwide waste problem by minimising the amount of material sent to landfill
• From 2002 to 2008 the Rockwool Group’s waste to landfill decreased by 35%
• At present, these residual products help to form 20-30% of the cupola furnace charge

This benefits our industry partners, and crucially has a positive effect on the environment by not only helping to reduce waste but in addition saving energy in extracting and transporting raw materials to our plant.
