Company maintains highest level of certified recycled content for fiberglass insulation in North America; Drives initiatives to keep glass out of landfills

At the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston, Mass., Owens Corning announced it has increased the certified recycled content in its flagship PINK Fiberglas insulation to a minimum of 40 percent.

At this level of recycled content, the amount of waste glass diverted from landfills could form a two-lane glass highway that extends 1.3 times around the world.

The certification, supplied by leading, independent third-party certifier Scientific Certification Systems, demonstrates a five percent increase over its prior level and maintains the product line's status as the fiberglass insulation with the highest level of certified recycled content in North America.
