ALEXANDRIA, Va.儲存, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA .naima.org) announced the results of a recent survey of its members' use of pre- and post-consumer recycled materials in insulation products in 2012. The survey includes data from both U.S. and Canadian manufacturing facilities. According to the survey, U.S. manufacturers used almost 1.6 billion pounds of recycled glass in the production of residential, commercial, industrial, and air handling thermal and acoustical insulation. Manufacturers estimate they will use more than 1.7 billion pounds in 2013. NAIMA Canada members together used nearly 300 million pounds of recycled glass in the production of residential, commercial, industrial, and air handling thermal and acoustical insulation.(Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130905/PH74443)U.S. and Canadian facilities used more than 474 million pounds of recycled blast furnace slag in the production of thermal and acoustical insulation. Since the Industry's recycling program began in 1992, NAIMA members' plants have diverted over 43.8 billion pounds of recycled materials from the waste stream. "NAIMA members are committed to promoting sustainability by using recycled materials to produce energy-savi新蒲崗迷你倉g insulation products that improve a building's energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact," said Kate Offringa, President and CEO of NAIMA. "Fiber glass, rock wool and slag wool insulation are some of the best choices available for residential and commercial building."While recycled content is just one indicator of a product's environmental impact, the survey results illustrate the significant impact that an industry can affect through the conscientious use of materials.For more information about the environmental benefits of fiberglass, rock wool and slag wool, visit .naima.org or .insulationinstitute.org today.About NAIMA -- NAIMA is the association for North American manufacturers of fiberglass, rock wool, and slag wool insulation products. Its role is to promote energy efficiency and environmental preservation through the use of fiberglass, rock wool, and slag wool insulation, and to encourage the safe production and use of these materials.Contact: Stacy Fitzgerald-ReddEmailWeb: .naima.orgPhone: 703.684.0084Read more news from the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association.Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130905/PH74443PRN Photo Desk, photodesk@prnewswire.comNorth American Insulation Manufacturers AssociationWeb site: .naima.org/mini storage
