Report Card
Using Roxul insulation products is one of the most
cost-effective ways to make homes and buildings
across North America more energy efficient. But
the company’s commitment to the environment goes
beyond the benefits of the products themselves. It
extends to the way the insulation is made, as well.
Roxul’s newest manufacturing facility in Milton,
Ontario utilizes state-of-the art technologies to
eliminate waste, reduce energy consumption and
minimize the company’s impact on the planet in five
critical “green” areas.
1. Recycling and Waste Reduction
Our new plant has an innovative recycling system that
turns all production waste into new raw materials
to be reused in the process. Roxul insulation now
contains up to 75% recycled materials. The facility
recycles over 99% of its production waste, which
dramatically reduces the impact on local landfill sites.
2. Water Conservation
Water used in the manufacturing process is collected
and reused for production. Storm water from the
plant site is also collected and used in the production
process. This significantly reduces the amount needed
from municipal drinking water resources.
3. Energy Efficiency
Heat generated during our production process is
captured and recycled throughout the factory and
warehouse for warmth during cold weather. Energy
efficient lighting has been installed throughout the
facility.
4. Lower Vehicle Emissions
A strict no-idle policy for trucks and other vehicles at
the facility minimizes exhaust emissions.
5. Air Quality
Roxul uses advanced emission control technology to
ensure manufacturing emissions are lower than the
air quality standards set and regulated by the Ontario
Ministry of the Environment (MOE). In all instances, the
Roxul facility is significantly below MOE levels.
