Other Sustainable Solutions
Ravago Building Materials products
Our solutions try to enhance the lifecycle of building materials and create low carbon intensive sustainable building materials that are very energy efficient and that use raw materials responsibly with increased amounts of recycling content and utilize green manufacturing processes.
Stonewool
Stonewool is a thermal insulation product made mainly of natural raw materials which contributes to the high energy efficiency of buildings over its lifetime and can be recycled. In most common insulation projects, stonewool (& XPS) saves the energy required for production within less than a year.
XPS
XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) is a very durable thermal insulation material which can be re-used or recycled when needed. Constantly increased recycle content ensures the further reduction of carbon footprint in the manufacturing process.
PE Foil
For over 45 years RBS has been manufacturing a range of LDPE and LLDPE flexible foil & packaging products from 100% recycled materials. On top the finished products are 100% recyclable thus leading to an almost zero carbon footprint.
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing products are ensuring buildings longevity by preventing corrosion and humidity. They also contribute towards creating an energy efficient property when used in green roofs or cool roofs and thus contribute towards reducing energy consumption while keeping the surroundings clean and healthy.
