At Emball’iso we are committer to the reduction of our impact on the environment.
The new premises were designed accordingly:
- Heating and air conditioning are entirely powered by a geothermal system (heat pump using the water table)
- The premises conform to RT2005 standards for thermal insulation
- The zenithal lighting in the production area makes maximum use of natural light to keep energy consumption down and provide a pleasant working environment.
- the factory has been equipped with macerators and compressor to capture and compact polystyrene waste to the maximum. Pure PS waste is backloaded to Isopor, our German subsidiary, for the production of building insulation. Laminated PS waste is converted into fuel briquettes sold for use in industrial furnaces, where it is valued for a calorific value higher than that of coal, and its inert combustion products.
 Many years ago we also took the decision to work with polystyrene which has excellent insulating properties and better environmental properties than other materials:
- Polystyrene foam is recyclable after waste separation
- It is a thermo-plastic material which is re-introduced into the manufacturing cycle unlike polyurethane which cannot be reformed
- It can be recycled for other tapplications such as underfloor insulation, lighter concrete, the production of insulating paint, etc…
- The low weight of polystyrene foam allows lighter packaging therefore reducing greenhouse gas emissions during road transport of goods.Its combustion in boiler rooms and in sorted waste disposals emits much more energy than wood
- Burning polystyrene foam emits no hydrocyanic acid and very little carbon monoxide, unlike polyurethane
Project 2010 : To continue our work we have begun an environmental project in view to obtain the Iso 14001 certification.
