How we make it greener CELLU-SHIELD®

Raw Material Acquisition

Reuse of recycled spent materials

CELLU-SHIELD incorporates post-consumer cellulose in the production of our products, which contains over 80% post-consumer newspapers. This approach helps reduce waste and promotes the use of sustainable materials.

Sustainable partnerships

Isolatek aims to collaborate with vendors who provide environmentally neutral products that minimize impact, conserve energy, reduce waste, and support sustainability.

Manufacturing

Centralized manufacturing

Isolatek is committed to minimizing energy use in our manufacturing plants, buildings, and processes. We focus on conserving resources and reducing the consumption of natural, particularly non-renewable, resources to promote sustainability.

Transportation

Centrally located distribution

Isolatek's strategically located distribution center helps reduce the overall shipping distance for most projects. By minimizing the distance goods need to travel, we significantly lower emissions and reduce the time required for freight delivery, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient supply chain.

Installation and end of life

Durability

CELLU-SHIELD's thermal/acoustical products are engineered to provide long-lasting protection throughout the building's lifespan. However, the end of life for the product typically occurs during a building rehabilitation, which may necessitate the removal and replacement of the thermal/acoustical materials. The extent of removal depends on the scope of the rehabilitation. In other cases, the material's life aligns with the overall lifespan of the structure. Once the material reaches its end of life, it is processed alongside the rest of the building, often as landfill material.
