2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Product Handprint | Product Innovation & Stewardship | 105 Insulation Products Owens Corning is a leader in using recycled content in our fiberglass insulation, ranging from a minimum of 53% recycled content to a high of 73% recycled content in our Canadian-made products. Our North American residential fiberglass insulation is certified by SCS Global Services to contain at least 55% recycled content, while our commercial and industrial fiberglass insulation is certified to have a minimum of 53% recycled content. In 2021, Owens Corning consumed more than 1.4 billion pounds of recycled glass globally, making us one of the largest users of recycled glass in the world. Our XPS foam insulation in North America has 20% certified pre-consumer content. Our Thermafiber ® mineral wool insulation is manufactured to have a minimum of 70% recycled content and is validated by International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES). Recycling and Reclaiming of Products and Packaging Owens Corning was the first roofing manufacturer to establish a roofing contractor incentive program for recycling asphalt shingle roof tear-offs. Recycling torn-off shingles helps the environment in two ways: old shingles do not end up in landfills, and they get repurposed as pavement. Each year in the U.S., approximately 13 million U.S. tons of potentially recyclable shingles are removed from the roofs of homes and buildings. Through a national strategic alliance with Earth911, we connect contractors with convenient recycling facilities. As part of the program, we ask contractors to help the environment and promote sustainable business practices by pledging to recycle their shingle tear-offs. As of 2021, over 800 contractors in our network have pledged to recycle their shingle tear-offs, including 74 new contractors who made the pledge this year. The amount of recycled shingles continues to decline every year due to factors such as: ■ Recycling centers closing. ■ Recycling centers discontinuing their shingle recycling operation. ■ Department of Transportation requirements. ■ Stockpile of material, and difficulty in getting asphalt companies to take the material. Our commitment to recycling also applies to our packaging. For example, Owens Corning uses wood pallets, which are reused throughout our plants, and the majority are recycled at the end of life. Recyclable cardboard is also used with some of our products. Each carton used for our insulation products contains up to 30% recycled content and is fully 100% recyclable after use. Cores used in our Composites business are made from recycled paper, and totes, bags, and super sacks are designed to be reused. 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total weight of material used 7, 6 9 5 , 2 6 5 8,208,112 6,812,476 8,416,366 Total weight of recycled raw materials 804,389 722,650 708,905 840,253 Percent of recycled content 10% 9% 10% 10% 2021 Recycled Input Materials (Metric Tons) Photo: FOAMULAR ® NGX™ insulation.
