Sustainability
Insulation for Sustainable Living
PGF Insulation’s respect for the environment, fair trade and sustainability practices is held with utmost regards. In line with the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”) by 2030; PGF Insulation is committed to 6 SDGs that are incorporated into our Sustainability Framework.
The energy savings offered by Ecowool throughout its estimated product lifetime of 70 years is so significant that they easily outweigh the energy needed for their production, transportation and installation.
Quality Assurance
Ecowool provides glass mineral wool insulation that aspires to achieve high performance ratings from recognized green certification bodies. Our product’s benefits—including safety, durability, sustainability, and long-term cost-effectiveness—position it as a preferred insulation material in the construction industry.
Recycled Contents
Recycled glasses are all that is required to produce Ecowool glass mineral wool insulation. PGF Insulation’s contents are made up of more than 80% of recycled glass, which otherwise will be sent to landfill as a replacement for silica sand. The glass cullet will then be melted at 1,450 °C to form a lava like molten glass. The molten glass produced is converted into fibres by rotary process that combines a centrifugal drawing of the glass through a rotating device drilled with thousands of tiny holes and attenuated by high temperature gas jet streams.
Energy Conservation
With energy efficiency as a vital part of the roadmap for a carbon neutral economy, our innovative insulation solutions are built to offer significant energy savings while attaining thermal and acoustic comfort at the same time. Our commitment in quality gives us the confidence to provide 70 years of product warranty on the glass mineral wool that we offer. The energy savings offered by Ecowool products throughout its warranted 70 years performance is so significant, that they could potentially outweigh the energy needed for their production, transportation and installation.
Insulation for Sustainable Living
Sustaining Necessary Precondition
for the Well-being of Humans and Other Organisms
With an average lifespan of 70 years, glass mineral wool products are familiarly knows to be an resilient and safe-to-use insulation materials. They are one of the most documented and tested building materials in the world, which are proven to be beneficial to building owners and environment.
As we strive to continuously enhance our manufacturing efficiency to reduce energy consumption while minimizing our environmental impact, our plant recycles the resources used in the manufacturing process, including water. The raw materials used for manufacturing Ecowool products comes from recycled materials which could have ended up as a waste in a landfill. We want to ensure that our Ecowool are recyclable and have a long lifespan, so that we can reduce the building material waste.
Our Ecowool manufacturing process avoids using CFCs, HCFCs, and other ozone-depleting substances, ensuring our products have a lower environmental impact.
Thanks to their resilient properties, glass mineral wool products can be compressed by a factor of up to ten at the time of packaging and palletizing. This means that more insulation can be shipped in each truck, reducing the energy required for storage and transportation. Over its installed average lifespan of 70 years, an Ecowool product saves a significant percentage of the energy consumed and the CO² emitted in its manufacturing, transporting and disposal process.
