Insulating with recycled plastic bottles – an obvious choice.

Over 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and up to 12 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans each year. We need to eliminate our dependence on single use plastics. We also have to deal with the legacy of material that exists. Putting waste polyester into durable end uses such as insulation is an effective way to help deal with the mountain of waste in the system. What’s more, with the need to substantially upgrade insulation levels if we expect to meet our carbon emission targets. Insulating with recycled plastic bottles seems an obvious choice.

A recent survey by Plymouth University found that plastic was present in a third of UK caught fish. Our oceans are under threat as never before. Insulating an average loft with SupaSoft Insulation takes 12,000 waste plastic bottles out of circulation. Insulating a million homes with SupaSoft Insulation would remove nearly ten billion waste bottles from the environment.
