Germany: Recycling and waste processing company Büchl Entsorgungswirtschaft, based in Ingolstadt, and Rockwool, the Denmark-based manufacturer of stone wool insulation materials, have set up a strategic partnership to recycle stone wool insulation, with the inauguration of a new facility in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. The plant, the first of its kind in the state, allows the comprehensive collection, testing, processing, and reintegration of suitable rock wool waste into Rockwool's production cycle.
Büchl will provide significant support to Rockwool in achieving its sustainability and recycling goals, specifically within the framework of the Rockwool’s Rockcycle take-back system.
"With the new Rockwool recycling plant at the Büchl site in Ingolstadt, we are creating the foundation to reliably support our partners – and especially Rockwool – in the recycling process on an industrial scale. This sends a strong signal for resource conservation and a truly circular economy," said Jürgen Kienlein, Managing Director of Büchl Entsorgungswirtschaft, at the opening ceremony.
