Why PINK is Green
Owens Corning is committed to sustainable business practices, and takes pride in the fact that its energy-saving products make a significant net positive impact on the environment. In fact, in the first year of use, Owens Corning home insulation saves approximately nine times the amount of energy used by its company annually. And year after year, its insulation products continue to help conserve energy without consuming any additional resources.
By reducing the energy required to maintain a comfortable living or work environment, insulation reduces the greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. Each year, Owens Corning insulating products eliminate more than one billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions equal to the annual emissions of 200 million passenger cars or two billion barrels of oil.
Eco-friendly manufacturing and distribution
Owens Corning PINK insulation not only saves energy; it also helps conserve natural resources by using widely available and plentiful resources and and recycled glass in its manufacturing process.
All of its glass fiber and foam products made in North America are certified for their recycled content by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Its glass fiber products use an average of 40% recycled glass content, and its rigid foam insulation uses an average of 15% recycled content, with all foam scrap recycled back into the process instead of going to landfills. And when it comes to distribution, its compression packaging means it can ship more insulation per truckload, resulting in 25% fewer transportation miles and reduced pollution from truck emissions.
