Valisola
"More than 10 Eiffel towers is the equivalent in tons of glass wool still buried per year in 2020, i.e. more than 3 million m3 in volume (100,000 trucks), In 2030 this deposit will reach double with more than 150,000 tons per year. Only 400 tons were recovered in 2021 and this by a French international player via a mechanical then thermal process close to 2000°C.
In France, 5.2 million homes are thermal sieves (new estimate of 8 to 9 million based on the new thermal diagnosis). This data was published in 2022 by the Ministry of Ecological Transition. The thermal insulation market is growing strongly, particularly through the major renewal plans operated by social landlords.
What if this resource could not only be collected and buried but valued with added value.
What if this solution was technically, ecologically and economically relevant, allowing low-carbon insulation with local resources?
These are indeed the missions of Valisola, the local, adaptable, and replicable industrial solution allowing to valorize more than the current solutions with less negative impacts.
Hello, I am Guillaume, Valisola pilot.
Engineer and developer of circular economy loops at Neo-Eco, former Manager in waste recovery for a Flemish family business: Vanheede, and still previously specialist in distribution, particularly in the international purchasing unit AdeoServices Parent company of the Leroy Merlin group.
I have a holy horror of the answer it is not possible: and in the case of insulation I have too often heard that the ""effective"" recovery of glass wool was not possible so I wanted to create the Valisola integrated solution.
Valisola therefore offers the recovery, transformation, creation of insulating product from used glass wool, until its installation.
Take a building, a dwelling, both for the insulation of the attic and the floors or the walls, the Valisola solution is suitable.
The innovation lies largely in the unique processing tool and the proposed logistics organization.
For the tool, what I can tell you is that the solution allows you to put used glass wool at the entrance to it to get a packaged product that can be applied by insulation companies. The transformation process is mechanical and therefore much less energy-intensive than glass wool remelting tools using up to around 2000 degrees to remelt this product.
Now for logistical innovation, as I propose, the tool is transportable, so Valisola aims to develop a network of partners who can receive used materials and store finished products for distribution.
A few key points targeted: Less Distance traveled - Reverse Logistics - Agile Mechanical Solution - Replicable and Duplicable - Energy and Resource Saving Process - Virtuous and Local"
