Emphasizing that we need to say "stop" to marine pollution originating from land waste so that we can leave blue shores and a living sea to future generations, İzocam Human Resources Director Ms. Gözdehan Çaycı said, “As İzocam, we have formed a volunteer team consisting of our colleagues to draw attention to this important issue. Our team, which managed to collect 11 kilograms of paper, plastic, metal, glass and non-recyclable waste in just 30 minutes within the event held on the Istanbul Bebek coast, completed the shore and seabed cleaning in a 3-hour collaborative effort. A total of 35 kilograms of waste was removed from the sea and sent to recycling facilities. Our volunteer team, which came together with the goal of making the world a better home, is preparing to continue its works with different activities in the coming days.”
İzocam is inspired by nature and supports what is natural
İzocam, which leads the sector in creating the awareness for healthy insulation, prioritizes its contribution to sustainability in every detail from the content of its products to the packaging, in addition to the social responsibility projects it carries out. Inspired by the nature and supporting what is natural, İzocam produces its products from recycled materials, which are proven to be environmentally friendly and not harmful to human health, even though not required by the laws enforced in our country. İzocam’s glass wool and stone wool insulation materials, which contain environmentally friendly materials, are among the best-known and most reliable products in the world. İzocam uses up to 80 percent recycled materials and cullets in its production. Additionally, production residues are also reused in the production. İzocam, which serves sustainability with the content of its products, offers a healthy life to all living things and nature.At the same time, İzocam has been continuously making investments for many years to obtain EUCEB (EUropean CErtification Board for mineral wool products) certification in its glass wool and stone wool products. The EUCEB certificate proves that the fibers that penetrate the body through the skin and respiration are dissolved and removed from the body. This certificate indicates that mineral wools are produced in accordance with European Union regulations and are regularly inspected by independent experts. Hence, the bio-degradability of products with EUCEB certificate is proven at international standards.
In addition to the EUCEB Certificate, which is regularly audited and checked for compliance by BCCA (Belgian Construction Certification Association), İzocam Glass Wool and İzocam Stone Wool have also been certified by TSE (Turkish Standards Institution), CE (Conformité Européene), ISO (International Standards Organization) 9001 Quality Assurance System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certificates. In addition to offering thermal and sound insulation at high standards, İzocam brand mineral wools increase the fire safety of buildings with their A1 class non-combustible feature. At the same time, thanks to the recycled materials used in their production, İzocam brand mineral wools enable the buildings where they are used to obtain green building certificates such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – BREAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology). Morover, these products directly contribute to 8 of the "17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development" developed by the United Nations within the scope of combating global climate change. The “Eurofins Gold” certificate awarded to the İzocam Glass Wool Blankets proves that they contribute to healthy indoor air.
