Sustainability

“Plan for the future because that's where you are going to spend the rest of your life.”  Mark Twain

RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND CLIMATE PROTECTION

Against the backdrop of climate change, Europe is increasingly investing in the circular economy:

  • Progress has been made in collecting, sorting and recycling plastics.
  • While completely new processes have been developed to convert organic waste streams into pure building blocks for the production of polyethylene (the raw material for our foam products).

Economic, socially responsible and environmentally conscious behaviour go hand in hand here at NMC.  As a family business, we want to ensure that we can handle whatever the future throws at us, and we are relying on tried and tested values and forward-looking thinking in order to maintain our strong economic position on the road ahead.

We are helping towards securing sustainable mitigation of climate change and environmental protection at several levels simultaneously.

NMC insulation make buildings more sustainable
Technical insulation from NMC reduces CO2 emissions, saves energy and gives technical systems a longer lifespan. For example, the CO2 emissions of the average European household can be reduced by more than 5% if its heating and hot water piping are provided with optimum insulation – and this has a positive impact on its carbon footprint. Heat is retained for longer and is used where it is needed. Insulated systems also last longer, because they are sustainably protected against moisture, in particular defrosted water keeping surfaces dry, stopping rust and mould in their tracks.

NMC hones its focus on the circular economy !
Through investments in new types of equipment, our own efforts and development work in the area of processing plastic waste, NMC, as a leading manufacturer, is able to significantly increase the proportion of recycled raw materials in the foam formulations of our proven products.
