Our recycling process takes place in a fully electric and energy-efficient facility. We carefully separate the different material streams. Pentane is recovered and reused within the process, while (H)CFCs are safely captured and processed.
From waste to raw material
Are PIR or PUR (sandwich) panels being removed from your construction project? Or do you have offcuts and leftover insulation materials after installation? Give them a new purpose. Insus recovers the valuable raw materials so they can be reused, including in the production of new insulation products.
What do we accept?
At Insus, you can recycle various types of insulation materials containing PIR or PUR, such as:
Panels released during installation, replacement or as residual materials on site. This includes both offcuts and complete panels.
Overhead doors with PU rigid foam, released as project residue or during replacement. These materials are processed into new raw materials.
Cutting and installation waste generated when fitting Insus insulation boards on site can always be returned. Project leftovers are also accepted.
How to return insulation materials
We make it as easy as possible to return and recycle insulation materials.
Sustainable without the hassle
As a contractor or installation company, you can take a step towards a circular future together with Insus. We process your PIR and PUR residual materials in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations, ensuring that valuable raw materials are retained wherever possible. This makes it easy to have your PIR and PUR residual materials processed responsibly.
#1 HOW WE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
#2 FULLY COMPLIANT
From national environmental legislation to the European F-gas Regulation, we comply with all strict laws governing the transport, storage and recycling of PIR and PUR waste streams. This ensures your waste is handled responsibly.
#3 FULL TRACEABILITY
We record every material stream we collect and recycle in detail. Need a report for an internal audit or a sustainability report? No problem. We provide clear insight into your material flows and how they are processed. We also support you with reporting for internal audits, LCAs and sustainability reporting.
#4 SCALABLE CAPACITY
No matter how much you collect, we can handle it. Our facility in Duiven has a recycling capacity of up to 20,000 tonnes per year. This not only helps us further close our own material loop, but also supports your organisation in keeping valuable raw materials in the supply chain for longer.
Towards circular construction together
More and more insulation material is becoming available in the construction sector. By recycling instead of landfilling or incinerating it, we take a major step towards a circular construction chain. Increasing numbers of contractors and installation companies are adopting this approach. Together, we ensure that PIR and PUR are no longer waste, but remain valuable raw materials.
We also use part of these recycled raw materials to produce new Insus insulation boards. Discover what this means for your project.
