The energy used in the production of PIR insulation is relatively small compared to the ongoing energy savings it provides over its lifetime. Studies and industry data typically show that the energy savings can be more than 100 times the energy consumed during the manufacturing process.

All Celotex products are manufactured under an Environmental Management System which is aligned with ISO 14001 standards. BRE Global Green Guide generic specification achieves a summary rating of A. Global Warming Potential (GWP) Less than 5 and zero Ozone depletion (ODP)

Our Approach

At the Celotex Eggborough plant, we have significantly reduced landfill waste to near zero. Additionally, we have transitioned from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources at both plants, underscoring our commitment to environmental responsibility.

We are actively collaborating with XPO Logistics to further reduce our carbon footprint. This partnership focuses on optimising delivery routes, enhancing site efficiency, and implementing smarter logistics strategies to minimise our environmental impact.

Additionally, to ensure our team is aligned with our sustainability goals, we’ve integrated environmental education into our staff training programmes. This provides our team with the knowledge to understand and minimise our environmental impact.

Looking Ahead

We are committed to achieving our goals of minimising waste, reducing our environmental and social impact on local communities, adhering to government standards, and exploring innovative ways to repurpose waste into our production processes. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainability, driving forward with initiatives that will help us achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
