Recycling of mineral wool waste into high-value products

The Italian consortium developing and leading the LIFE ReWo project tries to find alternative and more sustainable management pathways for mineral wool waste.

This type of waste is currently classified as hazardous and thus can only be managed at authorized landfills for final storage. The project team introduces an innovative sustainable and local recycling process to manage hazardous mineral wool.

LIFE ReWo project will provide a new End of Waste transformation process based on the thermal inertization of mineral wool waste and the recycling of the inert secondary raw material obtained, namely ReWo, to produce new high-value products in a variety of industry sectors.
