Celotex Ltd, Britain's longest established manufacturer of insulation boards for construction, has just launched the latest edition of its popular product and installation guide.
The Environmental Information Sheet begins by outlining Celotex' environmental policy.
This encompasses all aspects of its day-to-day operations, product development and commercial activities.
Celotex says that, as a producer of energy saving materials, it aims to minimise impact on the environment, whilst adhering to the principles of sustainable development.
Celotex' production process is examined from an environmental standpoint.
The document explains how the company's polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam board manufacturing methods are highly efficient in terms of energy use and how these products make a worthwhile long-term contribution to lowering the use of fossil fuels.
Issues affecting life-cycle performance of Celotex products are included.
Special emphasis is placed on their zero ozone depletion characteristics and the role of thermal insulation in reducing global warming.
Recycling and packaging methods and procedures are also put under the microscope.
The document concludes with a look at how Celotex commissioned the Building Research Establishment (BRE) to carry out an assessment of the most environmentally friendly development route for the Celotex tuff-RTM Zero product range.
