Due
to its insulating power it greatly reduces heating energy
consumption, which produces economic and environmental benefits
(reduction of CO² and SO² emissions, the causes
of the greenhouse effect and acid rain).
The
production process does not use and has never used CFCs or
HCFCs, which are the main agents in the depletion of the ozone
layer.
The
manufacturing process is clean, with low water consumption
and does not produce contamination or generate solid waste
products.
Its
combustion produces organic gases (mainly CO²) and water
vapour, similar to those produced by wood or cork that are
innocuous for living matter.
It
is 100% recyclable.
It
can be used as fuel due to its great heating power, therefore,
saving the consumption of others petroleum derivatives.
During
its manufacture and working life it is an innocuous material,
and its use is not a health risk.
