Recycling is key to make the planet a better place to be. Production of virgin glass fiber is very energy demanding and Ucomposites have with an advanced technological angle on recycling, to the benefit of the environment, made it possible to develop same quality as the virgin alternatives.
Ucomposites is aligned with UN Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are contributing to reach the goals, particularly for following SDGs:
Ucomposites work in line with EU thematic strategy for prevention and recycling waste but will also contribute to diverting waste from landfill which is an important element in EU policy on improving the use of resources and reducing environmental impacts of waste management.
Ucomposites Carbon Footprint Calculation show that 1 ton of Ucomposites´s UMAFO-01 recycled glass fiber affects the environment with the emissions equivalent to as little as 94 kg Co2 depending on the geographical location of the sourcing. And vs. virgin manufactured glass fiber this is a reduction of carbon emission of up to 95%.
