Climate Change
Climate change and man-made greenhouse gas emissions are crucial environmental issues for the 21st century. Through the Kyoto Protocol the EU has committed to reducing European emissions. With housing accounting for some 40% of European emissions through energy use - mostly for heating - mineral wool has an important role to play in reducing emissions through reduced energy demand.
Production
The environmental audit of the mineral wool industry shows the huge energy and emission savings that its products create throughout their lifetime. The industry itself is increasingly switching its inputs towards recycled materials and greener production methods.
