The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) is a major event that brings together leaders from all over the world to agree on how to step up global action to solve the climate crisis. It took place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in Glasgow.
On this occasion, we were invited to testify about our commitment at a Walloon 'Sustainable Construction' event organised on the sidelines of this major conference in the presence of Philippe Henri, Walloon Vice-President and Minister for Climate, Energy and Mobility, Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, Doctor of Physical Sciences and climatologist and Bertrand Piccard, psychiatrist, explorer and environmentalist.
Our message was clear... Very clear and much appreciated!
Insulating our houses and buildings is essential... But using petrochemical insulation is doing things by halves! They produce CO² from their manufacture to their installation, they have a limited lifespan (will have to be replaced in 25 years). They are not recyclable
It is like driving an electric car with electricity produced from gas and coal, and with a non-recyclable battery. It doesn't make sense.
Insulating with a biobased material, such as hemp blocks, is THE right choice to solve these problems.
Because hemp is a 'clean' crop: no fertilisers, no pesticides, nothing!
Because hemp blocks remove 75kg of CO² per m³.
Building with bio-based materials and hemp blocks is like driving an electric car with 100% green electricity. A car that will be completely recyclable... even the battery.
At IsoHemp, we are clear on our mission and have been for almost 10 years. So we naturally attract people who share the same values. Those who want to change and evolve the construction industry. And that's perfect, because we need you.
How do you want to build for yourself and your children ?
