Global technology group ANDRITZ has commissioned its neXline airlay system at Revibat, France, enhancing efforts to recycle glass wool waste into insulation panels. Officially inaugurated in early February, the system contributes to sustainability in insulation manufacturing by facilitating the efficient reuse of waste materials.
Industry representatives from ANDRITZ, Revibat, and Schott & Meissner attended the launch event at Revibat’s facility. Key discussion points included the system’s role in sustainable material processing and its environmental impact.
Revibat, engaged in recycling construction materials, has integrated ANDRITZ’s neXline airlay technology to process up to 1,500 kg of fiber per hour. This addition allows for the production of nonwoven insulation materials while reducing landfill waste and the overall carbon footprint.
Nicolas Brousse, CEO of Revibat, commented: “The ANDRITZ neXline airlay system supports our efforts to recycle glass wool waste into insulation solutions. Our aim is to expand this approach across France, reducing transportation needs and minimizing environmental impact. Collaboration with ANDRITZ’s technical center in Cours has been beneficial in refining this process.”
The system utilizes patented technology to transform waste materials from the Paris region into insulation products, helping to reduce landfill use and promote responsible manufacturing practices.
Revibat’s investment aligns with its commitment to assisting eco-organizations in waste management and recycling. With an equipped laboratory and a focus on sustainability, the company aims to continue developing efficient recycling solutions for the construction sector.
As sustainability remains a key priority for industries, the collaboration between ANDRITZ and Revibat reflects how technological advancements can support responsible waste management and environmentally conscious manufacturing. The commissioning of the neXline airlay system represents a step forward in sustainable insulation production.
