CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The unique properties of fiberglass
Fiberglass does not degrade by natural processes and is virtually unaffected by exposure to climatic conditions.
The unique durability of the fiberglass technically enables Miljøskærm to recycle our insulating products several times following decommissioning – thus further reducing both material and energy consumption in every cycle.
Subject to the emerge of a suitable financial model, it will allow Miljøskærm to substitute conventional sales by offering our products on a rental basis.

Using recycled fiberglass in noise barriers replacing more expensive and energy-demanding materials contributes to reduce CO2 emissions.
The recognized engineering consultant, COWI, analyzed the manufacturing process of fiberglass insulation in noise barrier elements compared to the corresponding manufacturing process for mainstream products made in aluminum and mineral wool.
Their report concludes that Miljøskærm’s product made in recycled fiberglass and recycled plastic reduces CO2 emissions by 60% and energy consumption by 40%.
COWI’s report is based on data from Miljøskærms early production phase and does not reflect the effects of our subsequent developments and optimizing of our manufacturing process.
