Why Reusability is so Important When It Comes to Insulation Products
Expense…Environment…Efficiency.
In today’s operational environment, the expectations are high. Shareholders, stakeholders and consumers expect consistent profits, excellent products, reasonable prices, and sustainable practices. Pleasing everyone can be a tall order, and success is often achieved by looking for improvements in unlikely places and holding all suppliers throughout the value chain to a similar standard.
Managing insulation waste is an area of operations that can drain resources on multiple fronts. From management and disposal to replacement and installation, traditional insulation is easily damaged, prone to failure, difficult to work with, and a source of enormous waste. Dealing with continually failing insulation is expensive, time-intensive, inefficient and, at times, dangerous. In short, it is often a chronic expense that saps away profits, disrupts operations and contributes significantly to a company’s carbon and waste footprint.
That’s why, when it comes to industrial insulation, reusability is crucial.
Top Benefits of Reusable Insulation
Cost and Time Efficiency
The expense associated with rebuying insulation every few years can deplete profits, result in operational downtime and increase man hours. Reusable insulation can help companies save significant amounts of money over time.
Environmental Sustainability
The waste created by replacing insulation can negatively impact a company’s carbon footprint. By minimizing the waste associated with insulation replacement, companies can move one step closer to achieving ESG requirements.
Ease of Maintenance
Reinstalling used insulation can be difficult and time consuming. Reinstalling damaged insulation during routine inspections result in gaps that allow heat or cold to escape or enter, effectively rendering the reinstalled insulation useless.
Consistent Performance
Thermal performance over time can be significantly impacted by the removal and reinstallation of standard insulation products. This inefficient process results in energy efficiency losses, higher energy costs and damaged product integrity.
Safety
The reinstallation of damaged insulation can result in dangers to line workers, including burns and tripping hazards. Reinstalling insulation that is difficult to handle can be particularly dangerous for workers working at height.
Long-Term Investment
Reusable insulation, while often higher in initial costs, can result in long-term savings that last for decades, depending on the product. The durability that comes with high quality reusable insulation provides savings benefits far into the future.
