Closing the Loop: how Resulation? is leading the Way in Mineral Wool Recycling

The landfill disposal of perfectly recyclable glass wool has no place in the future. That’s why at Resulation?, a pioneering company by Knauf Insulation that recycles mineral wool to new insulation materials, we focus on turning ideas into action.?

Our mission is simple: we are working to collect and recycle mineral wool into an infinitely reusable raw material, helping to close the loop and create a more sustainable world. To get an expert’s perspective on the importance of mineral wool recycling, we spoke with @Thomas Baguette, Glass Mineral Wool Recycling Business Developer at Resulation?:

"By recycling mineral wool, we’re not only reducing waste but also reducing the demand for new raw materials. It’s about making every material count and giving it a second, even third, life."

A circular future for mineral wool

The construction industry produces a significant amount of waste, and mineral wool is no exception. Despite its long lifespan and outstanding insulation properties, it often ends up as waste. That’s where Resulation? comes in. Mineral wool can be recycled and reused indefinitely without losing quality, reducing the need for new raw materials and helping the construction sector move toward a more sustainable future.

“By collecting waste mineral wool from (de)construction sites, we ensure it avoids landfill and incineration. We then recycle the material in our facilities, processing it into glass cullets that can be remelted into new mineral wool products.”
