Buildings & houses are responsible of 28% of the global fossil CO2 emissions, mainly due to space heating and cooling activities (representing >70% of their energy consumption). Consequently, there is urgent need for reducing the energy demand in households, this being an strategic objective within the EU Green Deal & Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. 

Contributing to this common objective, at INDRESMAT we develop new solutions to improve the thermal performance of building's envelope through the use of biobased polyurethane (bioPUR) as the most sustainable and energy-efficient material in construction market.

Polyurethane (PUR) is the highest thermal and acoustic insulating material, contributing to save energy (Energy efficiency) while showing an extended durability due to its excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical resistance. Moreover, PUR may be obtained from renewable raw materials (Resource efficiency), while being a fully recyclable material (Circularity). Therefore, bioPUR is undoubtely considered the most promising sustainable construction material.
