Umwelt Arena shows new exhibition on insulating materials
On July 6th, a new special exhibition on the subject of “Insulation Recycling” will open in the Umwelt Arena. The company Flumroc shows in the Recycling City. how old insulating materials are reprocessed during renovations.
The Swiss Environmental Arena is opening a new special exhibition. According to a message on Facebook, it is about the recycling of old insulating materials in the construction industry. Instead of old insulating materials ending up in the dumpster and then in the landfill during renovations and demolitions, they are taken back and processed again, according to Facebook on the subject. The Flumroc company based in Flums is showing how this is done in the new exhibition in the so-called Recycling City in the Umwelt Arena. Flumroc is a “pioneer in the field of insulation recycling”, according to the press release.
On its website , Flumroc advocates the sustainable use of insulating materials. “Rockwool becomes rockwool”. it says there. Flumroc stone wool is 100 percent recyclable. This “closed cycle” should be maintained as far as possible. The company therefore appeals not to simply throw away construction site cuttings and construction site waste made from Flumroc stone wool during demolition, renovation or conversion work. “We’re happy to take them back in the bags or containers provided and recycle them,” says the company.
The new exhibition provides information about the procedure for reprocessing.
