Faced with the announced energy shortage, Rockwool recommends sustainable insulation of housing

But then, how to save energy and reduce the risk of voltage on the network? The second most electricity-consuming sector, households account for 38% of annual consumption. If there are short-term solutions to this degraded situation, in particular by adopting eco-gestures, it is also necessary to think about longer-term solutions, such as better insulation of housing.

This is the entire objective of ROCKWOOL, the world leader in stone wool insulation solutions, which in 2021, thanks to the sale of its products, reduced the equivalent of annual energy consumption by more than one million. of hearths. Indeed, to obtain a significant impact, the renovations must be qualified as "deep", i.e. allowing energy savings of at least 60%, and the materials used must be efficient, healthy, fire resistant and circular. This is the case of rock wool, a natural material derived from basalt, an almost inexhaustible geological resource, infinitely recyclable and fire resistant.

To be able to meet the growing demand for high-performance insulation products, ROCKWOOL relies on sustainable production and the circular economy. Thus, in 2012, ROCKWOOL developed the Rockcycle service, which allows the collection and recycling of construction scraps and, since 2021, used panels with Rockcycle Réno.
