Working Together
At R-Control, we are committed to providing
the highest quality products and services.
We're proud of our recycling achievements,
and are committed to work harder for the
protection of our environment.
The core product for all R-Control insulation
systems is R-Control Expanded Polystyrene.
EPS is a very unique material, having excellent
insulating qualities. It is lightweight,
strong and resilient, non-corrosive, and dimensionally
stable.
Energy Savings and the Environment
R-Control EPS insulation systems reduce energy consumption.
With energy savings comes environmental
benefits. Specifically, the reduction of fossil fuels burned
to create energy. By reducing our energy consumption,
we reduce combustion by-products that lead to smog and
contribute to global warming.
Save Emissions
A home built with EPS construction systems such as
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) or Insulated Concrete
Forms (ICFs) can reduce enough energy consumption to
eliminate 2-3 tons of CO2 emissions to our atmosphere
per year when compared to a similar home built with 2x
dimensional lumber. Over the life of a 30 year mortgage,
the home built with R-Control EPS Building Systems can
save our atmosphere 60-90 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Recyclable
EPS is 100 percent recyclable, and can be
recycled in various ways. Recycled EPS is
ground and reincorporated into new EPS
products or thermally processed to make a
resin that can be used to remanufacture new
polystyrene products.
No CFC, HCFC, or HFC
EPS has never contained CFC (chlorofluorocarbon),
HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon), or
HFC's (hydrofluorocarbon), which are harmful
to the earth's ozone layer.
Resource Efficient
EPS manufacturing uses little energy and creates little
pollution. EPS products save resources by reducing energy
consumption through insulation systems.
Landfill Safe
EPS is inert and stable. EPS does not produce methane
gas or contaminating leachates.
Waste to Energy Safe
EPS provides a clean source for WTE incineration systems.
The chemical makeup of EPS is carbon and hydrogen,
elements found in wood and other organic materials.
