Carbon management solutions - dcarbon8

In 2006, Kingspan Insulated Panels was the first UK manufacturer to sign up to membership of dcarbon8. dcarbon8 is a carbon solutions company that works with companies to manage the carbon footprint associated with their business operations or product manufacture.

During 2007, Kingspan worked with Prologis to create the world’s first Planet Positive (or carbon negative) building at Pineham, Northampton, which is being used by Sainsbury’s, as a distribution centre. This involved measuring all the carbon impacts of constructing the building. The scope of the carbon footprint included all materials used to create the building, as well as the on-site enabling, energy use from plant equipment, building fit-out and end-of-life waste emissions. Kingspan supplied over 20,000m² of insulated panels for the internal fit-out to create temperature controlled storage environments.
