Sustainable construction is frequently linked to concepts such as the circular economy, recycling, low-carbon manufacturing, and green electricity. And quite rightly so. However, there’s an essential aspect that often goes unnoticed: longevity.
“In our opinion, longevity is an even more important sustainability feature than, for example, recycling,” says Els Bleus, Head of Marketing - Technical department at Foamglas Building EU.
“Recycling always requires energy, transport etc. When the insulation stays in place and does its job, no new raw material is needed and no new emissions are generated by production or transportation,” Els Bleus explains.
