Insulation made from recycled materials helps buildings save energy and be part of the circular economy.
Buildings are the main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Europe. During their entire life cycle, they produce about 36% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions. They use 40% of all the energy in Europe, and each year they make about 461 million tons of construction and demolition waste, excluding materials from excavation. Energy efficiency and recycling of building materials are two of the biggest problems in the building industry that SICLA tries to solve. SICLA meets the challenge of energy efficiency by making sure that at least 40% less energy is used and 34% less weight is put on the whole building. Compared to other options, SICLA solutions only need 33% of the thickness of insulation to get the same thermal performance. SICLA is a smart way to build houses that are well insulated and better for the environment. It does this by using more than 75% recycled siliceous material from the demolition industry.
