The environmentEPS insulation achieves an A+ ratingin the BRE Green Guide to Specification.Jablite has ISO 14001 environmentalstandard certification.BRE Green Guideto SpecificationWhat is the BRE?The Building Research Establishment – an industry recognised,independent research body that provides advice and knowledge togovernment, industry and business with the aim of improving thebuilt environment.What does A+ mean?A+ is the highest rating a building product can achieve; it wasgiven to EPS after it was compared against other insulationmaterials and seen to have the best performance / environmentalimpact credentials. Jablite EPS also scored highly by havingan Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero and a low GlobalWarming Potential (GWP).What is assessed within the BRErating?Material and building systems are evaluated against some veryspecific environmental impacts including:n Climate changen Mineral resource extractionn Depletion of the ozone layern Human toxicityn Ecotoxicity to freshwater and landn Waste disposaln Fossil fuel depletion8www.jablite.co.uk
Sustainability has become a major consideration in anyconstruction project – particularly as new, innovativeproducts mean there are no more excuses for not beingenvironmentally efficient.Jablite EPS helps the environment in the following ways:Positive contribution tosaving energyThe energy used during manufacturing is covered many times over bythe energy saved during the insulation’s life span – which, by the way,is as effective after 50 years as it is on day one. For each kilogramme ofJablite EPS used, at least 400 litres of oil is saved over 50 years.SafeJablite EPS doesn’t contain, and never has, any harmful HCFCs.It doesn’t irritate the skin or nostrils and presents no health risk duringinstallation or in use.RecyclableJablite EPS is completely recyclable and we operate an environmentalprogramme recycling all in-house manufacturing waste, as well as anypackaging and other waste EPS from outside the company.EPS waste can be dealt with inother ways too:n By melting and then extruding it to create a plastic suitable for themanufacture of plant pots, coat hangers and a wood substitute.It can also be mixed with other plastic waste to make park benches,road signs and a whole host of other things.n When incinerating it, you can release the energy contained withinthe EPS to produce electricity or local heating – with the onlyby-products being carbon dioxide, water vapour and a small amountof non-toxic ash.n EPS can even have beneficial effects if it is sent to landfill byencouraging plant growth by aerating the soil. It doesn’t leachanything into ground water and it doesn’t produce potentiallyexplosive methane gas.www.jablite.co.uk 9
