How to properly dispose of insulation?

The proper disposal of insulation is an important consideration for anyone involved in construction and demolition work. The disposal process must be done in a way that is both safe for the environment and compliant with all applicable regulations. One option for disposing of insulation is to recycle it. Recycling insulation can be done in several ways, including new glass wool recycling, new mineral wool recycling, and new stone wool recycling, and old insulation material.

Different ways to properly dispose of insulation:

  • Recycling insulation: Glass wool, mineral wool, and stone wool insulation can be recycled using specialized machines.
  • Reusing or repurposing insulation: If the insulation is in good condition, it may be possible to reuse it in another construction project or repurpose it for another application.
