SUPPORTING THE
GREEN CAUSE
Most insulation products in
South Africa either contain
a portion or are produced
using recycled products. For
example, polyester fibre
thermal insulation is
produced using recycled
PET bottles; glass wool
insulation is made using
recycled glass bottles;
cellulose fibre insulation is
made from chemically
treated recycled paper; and
expanded polystyrene uses
a portion of recycled
materials in its production.
This process of utilising
recycled material reduces
the amount of waste
products that are
potentially exposed to the
environment.
