With 15 production sites equipped with dedicated recycling units, the Knauf Group guarantees full coverage of the French territory.<\/p><p>In 2024, the collection rate increased significantly (+80% compared to 2021), demonstrating the effectiveness and growth of this initiative. The waste collected from various sources is integrated into the standard process or compacted to be transformed into secondary raw material, which is used to produce insulation (EPS-XPS) and protective packaging.<\/p><p>To strengthen the strategic role of this activity, Knauf Industries has appointed a manager for the entire department.
