Terbond ® products<br />

Freudenberg Politex committed itself in a policy aimed at the valorisation <strong>of</strong> waste and currently<br />

generates co-products, such as PE flakes, PET dust and other scraps which are either re-used<br />

in the production process or put on the market to be recycled or valorised by third parties.<br />

Membranes manufacturers can easily make reference to it when calculating the total Carbon<br />

Footprint <strong>of</strong> the finished <strong>bituminous</strong> ro<strong>of</strong>ing <strong>membranes</strong> using Terbond ® <strong>rein<strong>for</strong>cements</strong>.<br />

As an indication, the table 4 here below represents the Carbon Footprint <strong>of</strong> different weights<br />

<strong>of</strong> Terbond ® products per surface unit (1 m 2 ).<br />
