Our Cradle to Cradle journey

In 2021, more than 90% of Rockfon products were Cradle to Cradle Certified® v3.1. We even went one step further and assessed most categories under the more rigorous pilot version 4 (material health, renewable energy and climate, product circularity and water stewardship).

Material Health

Our products have low VOC emissions, complying with the strictest indoor air emission limits and do not contain any substances restricted by the Cradle to Cradle requirements in the respective levels.

Clean Air & Climate Protection

Rockfon solutions achieved Silver level because we’ve established a long-term renewable energy strategy and we work towards actively reducing our CO2 emissions, primarily through energy efficiency and technology improvements.

Product Circularity

Rockfon solutions achieved Silver level status in product circularity because they are compatible with high-level cycling, which means they can be manually removed and reused or recycled.

Water & Soil Stewardship

Rockfon solutions achieved Gold level status in product circularity because they are compatible with high-level cycling, which means they can be manually removed and reused or recycled.

Social Fairness

Rockfon products have been awarded the Gold level since they have a responsible sourcing program and a Code of Conduct for our suppliers.
