NBS plus The Rockwool Group's project "Waste and Sewage Recycling and Symbiosis in Stone Wool Production" (LIFE05 ENV/DK/000158) has been started in order to reuse residual products from other industries. Our initiative is supported financially by the EU's Life-programme. The objective of LIFE-Environment, the EU-funding for the environment, is to help develop innovative techniques by co-financing demonstration projects.

Project goals

The Rockwool project’s objective is to expand the application of the existing technology for using secondary raw materials in stone wool production. We wish to cover a wider range of waste materials and achieve higher substitution levels. The project seeks to demonstrate the use of secondary combustion material and residuals from water treatment. It should enable the stone wool production units to use locally produced waste materials, as a partial substitution of current energy sources such as coke, electricity and natural gas.

More information on the LIFE project can be found on the Rockwool website.
