Circularity

Continuously creating new value from old materials

Stone wool can be indefinitely recycled

Rock is one of the most abundant raw materials on the planet, but we still need to make better use of our planet’s resources. We have developed our technology in a way that allows us to use waste from other industries as alternative raw material. We also have to prevent our building products becoming waste. We do that by making recyclable, long-lasting products and offering a recycling service. 

Our products can be easily removed when a building is renovated, or demolished and recycled back into new products. In fact, stone wool can be recycled again and again into new stone wool. This is an important element of a “circular” business model – another way you can be a part of our vision for sustainable cities of the future.
