Used for more than 70 years, glass mineral wool
products have proven themselves as popular, ecological
and safe to use insulation materials. They are probably
the most well-documented and tested building materials
in the world.
PGF Insulation operates world class manufacturing facilities. We continually strive to improve our
manufacturing efficiency, reduce energy consumption, eliminate waste and minimize our impact on the environment.
PGF Insulation operates its manufacturing facility in such a manner as to minimize
the environmental impact on natural resources.
Recycled Content
PGF glass mineral wool insulation is manufactured from recycled glass cullet
that would otherwise go to landfill. Made from nearly 80% recycled glass and locally sourced raw materials,
PGF Insulation recycle industrial glass waste to produce glass mineral wool.
PGF Insulation manufacturing facility constantly strives to improve efficiency and performance.
We incorporate production scrap back into the primary production process, or reprocessing it into other products reduces process waste.
Continuous process improvement and recycling efforts have significantly reduced waste and energy consumption in
the manufacturing of PGF insulation glass mineral wool.
Packaging and
Transportation
Thanks to their resilient properties, glass wool products can be compressed by a factor of up to ten at the time
of packaging and palletizing.
This means that more insulation can be shipped in each truck, reducing the energy required for transportation.
Positive eco-balance
Over its installed life (usually 50 years), a typical PGF glass mineral wool product saves more
than 100 times the energy consumed and the CO2 emitted in its manufacture, transport and disposal.
The CO2 and energy balance switches to positive only a few months after installation. Most of our products
can easily be removed and reinstalled, saving costs, energy and resources in building renovations or expansions. |
