Higgins Insulation is a company conceived out of a deep seated
social consciousness about the future of today's environment; both
locally and globally. With this in mind, we affirm the
following:
Higgins Insulation will continue to explore the possibilities of
providing a wide range of competitively priced insulation products
that are environmentally responsible.
By 'Environmentally Responsible' we mean:
- Products that are, where possible, made from renewable
resources rather than non-renewable resources.
- Products that pose no known health risks to installers or
residents, providing a vital contribution to health, safety and
comfort.
- Products that are long-lasting enough to carry a guarantee
for the lifetime of the premises into which they are installed, but
at their eventual disposal are, where possible, completely
biodegradable.
- Products that will not pollute the air, water or
soil.
- Products that insulate to an exceptional standard,
maximising the positive effects of insulating, and ensuring the
largest possible energy savings.
- Products that are locally made, with the aim of reducing the
negative impact that transportation has on the
environment.
Wool is a totally renewable resource, has possibly the lowest
embodied energy of any insulation product, has a Zero Ozone
Depletion Potential, a Low Volatile
Organic Compound rating, and contains no Formaldehyde, making
it possibly the most environmentally friendly insulation product on
the planet.
By manufacturing eco-friendly insulation, Higgins is paving the
way for consumers and the building industry to make a significant
contribution to the problem of global warming, through reduced
heating and cooling costs.
Moving forward, our ongoing goal is to provide a product that
enhances the comfort of the dwellings in which we work and live,
and do so in a way that responsibly addresses the real challenges
of global warming.
