Insulation Panel Recycling

Insulation waste is one of the hardest materials to manage on construction and facilities sites. Limited recycling options, storage pressure, and uncertainty around compliance often mean panels are sent to landfill by default.

Our Insulation Panel Recycling service gives you a clear, practical alternative. We collect insulation panels from sites across the UK, recycle them responsibly, and provide the documentation and ESG data you need to stay compliant and confident.

 

The challenges with insulation panel waste

If you’re responsible for site operations, procurement, or sustainability, you’ll recognise these issues:

✔️ Unclear or inconsistent recycling routes for insulation panels
✔️ Panels stored on live sites for too long, taking up valuable space
✔️ Insulation being sent to landfill because there’s no viable alternative
✔️ Uncertainty around correct waste classification and handling
✔️ Inconsistent or incomplete paperwork from waste providers
✔️ Increased scrutiny from clients, auditors, and regulators
✔️ Pressure to evidence ESG performance with reliable data


These challenges create risk, cost, and unnecessary admin, especially on busy sites with tight programmes.

 

A simpler way to manage insulation panel recycling

 

Our Insulation Panel Recycling service is designed specifically for real construction and facilities environments.

We provide a nationwide collection and recycling solution that removes guesswork, reduces landfill reliance, and gives you clear proof of compliance.

Instead of juggling multiple providers or relying on landfill, you get one service that handles collection, recycling, and reporting, all backed by consistent, audit-ready documentation.

 

What you can recycle


We collect and recycle a wide range of insulation materials, including:

- PUR insulation panels
- PIR insulation panels
- EPS insulation panels
- Other common insulation panel types

 

If you’re unsure whether a specific material is accepted, our team can confirm this before collection.
