Our sustainability pillars:
Sustainable Solutions
Encouraging recycling and long-term product use
Raf Van Gorp, our founder and a pioneer in recycling, had the vision to start Ravago by giving what were once thought of as waste materials a second chance at life. Being a top recycler of polymers, we constantly develop new recycling technologies and strive to assist our clients in their sustainability initiatives by providing a range of environmentally responsible options.
We offer sustainable products in the building materials, polymers, chemicals and life components, and other areas. For example, RAVATHERM XPS (extruded polystyrene foam insulation) and RAVATHERM SW (mineral wool thermal insulation) are manufactured by Ravago Building Solutions. The building industry holds these brands in high respect due to their resilience, energy economy, and ecological impact. We continue to decrease industrial waste and fight climate change with RAVATHERM thermal insulation materials high recycled content.
Responsible Operations
