Irish company says it will use recovered ocean plastic in manufacturing of insulation
said the partnership would enable EAF to expand its ocean-cleaning action: “[Kingspan] can help us close the loop by using large volumes of the materials we recover from the seas.”
Kingspan has pledged to be a “net zero energy” business by 2020, by cutting down on energy use and by ensuring that its energy comes from renewable sources and, where possible, generated on Kingspan’s own properties. Global use of plastics has grown dramatically over the last half-century. In 2013, 271 million tonnes of plastics were produced, representing a 4 per cent increase over 2012, while the figures have increased since – despite growing public attention on the issue.
