Freefoam Building Products is proud to announce its success at the prestigious IOM3 Sustainability Awards, winning the Circular Economy Award in recognition of its innovative and sustainable practices.
The Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining (IOM3) Sustainability Awards celebrate organizations and initiatives that champion sustainable development and environmental stewardship within the materials and built environment industries. Freefoam’s achievement in the Circular Economy category reflects its commitment to reducing waste, extending product life cycles, and minimizing environmental impact.
Commitment to Sustainability
Freefoam Building Products has been at the forefront of sustainability within the building materials sector. Its strategy includes:
• Closed-Loop Recycling: Implementing systems to collect and reprocess post-consumer and post-industrial PVC waste, turning it into high-quality, reusable materials.
• Product Longevity: Developing durable, low-maintenance products with extended lifespans, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Resource Efficiency: Investing in technologies that minimize raw material use and production waste.
This circular approach ensures that materials remain in use for as long as possible, creating value while conserving resources.
Industry Recognition
Commenting on the win, Geoff Barnett, General Manager at Freefoam Building Products, said:
“The recognition from the IOM3 Sustainable Future Awards in the “Circular Economy” category is seen as a fantastic achievement for our organisation and makes us all very proud. The fact that the recognition comes largely because of what we are already doing and the way that we have embedded Circularity into our Strategic Vision is especially encouraging.”
Freefoam’s sustainable initiatives align with global goals for reducing carbon footprints, addressing climate change, and promoting a circular economy. The company is committed to enhancing its environmental performance while setting a benchmark for others in the sector.
Geoff summarised “At Freefoam, we believe the future of construction lies in creating solutions that are not only high-quality but also environmentally responsible. This award motivates us to continue driving positive change in our industry. This recognition of our strategic vision and efforts to achieve circularity should most definitely be an inspiration to anyone with similar values and aspirations. We use our values in dealing with our suppliers and, importantly, in our relationships with our customers.”
