Abstract
Insulation products promote energy efficiency and prevent pollution by reduciung greenouse gas emissions. By reducing the demand for energy, insulation products help conserve a non-renewable fuel supplies and reduce the amount of pollutants that are released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuel. Pollutants like carbond dioxide contribute to climate change. Synthtic vitreous fibers insulation products not only combat climate change but also support sustainability by offering products that are re-usable and have a high recycled content. This article will identify different characteristics in insulation products that are most likely to promote sustainability and combat climate change. These characteristics are commonly called a life cycle approach to environmental benefits.
