Occasional information, Brussels, 13/05/2026 — 06:55 CET, 13.05.2026

 

Recticel Group announces the opening of its new industrial-scale recycled polyol plant in Wevelgem (Belgium). This milestone marks a significant step in the Group’s sustainability roadmap and a decisive move toward circularity in the insulation boards, manufactured by Recticel Insulation.

“Circularity is not a slogan for us, it is a design principle,” says Ward Dhaese, Innovation Manager at Recticel Insulation. “With advanced technology we demonstrate how high-performance insulation materials can be engineered for multiple lifecycles, moving our industry away from linear production models.”
