We are a proud Kiwi company with a passion for Aotearoa and understand our responsibilities to the environment.
With 60 years’ record of manufacturing quality insulation for healthier homes and environments, we are equally focused on reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing process too.
There is always more that can be done, and at Comfortech® we are looking at areas to improve. Always.
Learn more about our commitment to New Zealand.
We are committed to keeping New Zealand clean and green, which is why we use over 80% recycled glass when manufacturing our New Zealand made Pink® Batts® insulation. This glass is sourced from local New Zealand suppliers and is repurposed, avoiding landfill.
Not only is our New Zealand made product made from recycled materials, but our packaging is too! The Pink® Batts® insulation bags are also made from recycled content, a process that we continue to evolve.
Addressing climate change is a huge challenge we face globally. As part of Fletcher Building family, we are committed with Fletcher Building on ‘30/30 initiative’ which aims at achieving 30% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
This target is based on keeping global temperature rise well below two degrees Celsius. The target is verified by the Science Based Targets initiative, a recognised international third-party verification body, and in line with the goals set in the Paris agreement.
The last decade saw us making impressive improvements to our manufacturing site which included:
In 2010 Thinkstep completed our initial life cycle assessment (LCA) followed by the second one in 2019, the data from which was used and verified by the Australasian EPD Programme to prepare our Environmental Product Declaration.
Pink® Batts® insulation is the only New Zealand made segment insulation product to have an associated Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). Internationally recognised, EPD is a standardised and verified document that quantifies the environmental impact of a building product throughout its life-cycle.
