Hybris honeycomb insulation obtains the “Janus des Composants & des Matériaux 2021” label of excellence

Awarded by the Institut Français du Design, it highlights the unique character of HYBRIS honeycomb reflector insulation in terms of performance, design, eco-design and respect for the environment. This label thus rewards Actis' desire to make use of French know-how in the service of innovation designed in a logic of full recycling, comfort all year round and health for individuals and professionals.

The label: industrial innovations as part of a process of progress

The Janus label was created in 1953 by the French Institute of Design. Each year, it rewards companies, communities, and design professionals, who are part of a sustainable improvement process at the service of the Person, the Company and the City according to the “5 E” criteria: Economy, Aesthetics, Ergonomics, Ethics, Emotion.

The JANUS of Components and Materials promotes industrial innovations that offer new comforts, facilitate more intuitive gestures and meet ecological challenges.

The winner: Hybris, the honeycomb reflective insulation with unique performance

HYBRIS is a honeycomb reflective insulation that provides thermal comfort in summer and winter, sound insulation and airtightness in buildings. It exploits the thermal qualities of air, a very effective natural insulator. It integrates the function of double vapor barrier, which avoids the installation of an additional membrane and offers well-being to the individual.

Each reflective film reflects 95% of infrared radiation, limiting the penetration of heat inside buildings as much as possible and thus making it possible to keep accommodation more comfortable in summer.

Lightweight and stable at the same time, HYBRIS does not sag over time, retaining, throughout its service life, its initial thermal, sound and waterproofing characteristics. Over time, the habitat therefore does not consume more energy.

Its components are healthy, respectful of indoor air and without irritating fibers, which guarantees incomparable fitting comfort and daily air quality.

Entirely recyclable, its manufacture and its life cycle are part of a virtuous approach and strongly committed to environmental protection.

The Janus jury for components and materials was particularly sensitive to:

• the aesthetic and sensory aspect of a component intended to be invisible to the end user;
• the use of the in situ test and research center to experiment with the different uses of HYBRIS in real climatic conditions;
  
• control of the circular economy process throughout its life cycle (fully recyclable components and reintegration of cutting and scrap waste);
  
• attention to human health: absence of allergens, chemical binders, or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
  
• manufacturing "Made in France", allowing to preserve and promote know-how, and therefore to support the local economy.
