S
pray foam insulation specialist Icynene,
is doing its bit to reduce the
ever-growing mountain of plastic waste
by incorporating recycled plastic into
the formulation of its closed-cell foam
insulation product.
Every year, Europe generates roughly
25m tonnes of plastic waste but less than
30 per cent is collected for recycling. (The
Guardian). As a first step in tackling the
problem, Icynene has started to process
recycled PET bottles as one of the basic
ingredients in its spray foam insulation. Over
the coming year, Icynene expects to recycle in
excess of 750,000, biting a fair-sized chunk
out of this ever-growing mountain of plastic.
Spray-applied foam insulation is one of the
quickest and most effective ways to reduce
heat-loss from buildings. And by making our
homes, offices and factories more thermally
efficient, Icynene insulation also makes a
significant contribution to reducing C0 2emissions – one of the principal causes of
global warming.
Icynene spray foam insulation is already an
environmentally friendly system. The closed
cell foam uses HFO [Hydroflouroolefin]
as a blowing agent and has a global warming
potential [GWP] of 2 [Two] and an
ozone depletion potential [ODP] of 0
[Zero]. Furthermore, Icynene does not emit
any harmful gasses once cured and is
completely inert.To further reinforce the Company’s green
credentials, Icynene is committing a portion
of sales revenue to a tree planting programme
in woodland near its manufacturing base in
Central Europe. For every barrel of basic
product sold, Icynene will plant trees in the
forests surrounding the Tatra Mountains in
Slovakia – an area devastated by storms a few
years ago.
Forests are Mother Nature’s lungs and,
by helping rebuild them through this
programme of tree planting – the Company
expects to plant over 40,000 this year –
Icynene hopes it will help in the fight to
reduce carbon emissions and slow the rise in
global warming.[email protected] http://www.icynene.co.ukIcynene
