Sustainably Innovating
Low Carbon Insulated
Panels
In a 100k m2 industrial building, this would equate
to a saving of over 1,100 tonnes1 of embodied CO2e
in the building envelope alone.
In 2021 the team at our IKON Global
Innovation Centre, working with our
supply partners, developed a low
carbon insulated panel. It has 25%
less embodied carbon than a standard
insulated panel and upwards of 45%
recycled content.
This initial development is focussed
on the steel element of the insulated
panel but we have several exciting
R&D projects ongoing which focus on
the embodied carbon and renewable
elements of the insulation core.

This is just the beginning. Our Innovation and
Planet Passionate teams will continue to work
with our suppliers to drive real sustainable
differentiation in our products. We have
ongoing R&D projects which aim to further
increase recycled raw materials and to utilise
natural materials in our insulation cores.
