Rockfon’s recycling is up-cycling. In traditional recycling, products made from recycled materials can be of lesser quality than products made from new materials. Rockfon processes waste products into new fibres having exactly the same qualities as those made from new or virgin materials.

The up-cycling of returns can take place at any Rockwool factory with a briquet plant. It occurs at the plant closest to the point of collection, minimising the need for unnecessary transport and CO2 emissions.
Rockwool return programmes are available in many countries, including Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Contact Rockfon for more information about how to return waste in your area.
To reduce the burden on landfill sites and minimise the depletion of natural resources, contractors are increasingly returning Rockfon off-cuts and site waste along with ceiling tiles collected during refurbishment or demolition work for recycling.
These returns are up-cycled by Rockwool.
