For A Better World:

For A Better World commits us to Put People First, Achieve Zero Carbon, Deliver A Circular Economy and Create Better Buildings.

At Knauf Insulation we have always been defined by sustainability. We work hard to create products and practices that reduce our environmental impact. In fact, a recent study showed our mineral wool insulation reduces operational carbon from buildings by 3.6 million tonnes every year across Europe - the equivalent of removing 2.5 million cars from our roads.

But for us, sustainability is not a destination - it is a journey of continuous improvement. Everyone from the shop floor to the board room is accountable for our success, which we track every year against four long term goals.

In 2021 we further improved our industry-leading compression packaging, we’ve been able to further increase the amount of material per pack or pallet for our glass mineral wool products.

This means even fewer trucks on the road with less storage and handling for our customers. In addition, we have re-designed our packaging so they’re easier to identify, while reducing the amount of ink by up to 50%.

We’ve also introduced a new packaging film with a minimum of 30% recycled plastic content. This means the plastic we do use is even easier to recycle and reduces our carbon footprint.
