Innovation and sustainability go together. We continuously strive to find new solutions, especially when it comes to increasing our product sustainability.
Owens Corning products can help our customers, their customers, and consumers meet their own sustainability goals. Our insulation makes buildings more energy efficient, and our glass-reinforced composites enable longer, stronger, lighter blades for wind turbines, which brings down the cost of wind energy.
As a materials engineering partner, Owens Corning Composites designs tailored solutions that power lighter, longer, and stronger wind blades, enabling a generation of more cost-effective clean energy. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ddmRRmWA
TOLEDO, Ohio, September 21, 2021 /3BL Media/ - Owens Corning continued its support of the Gary Sinise Foundation by donating all of the fiberglass insulation for a Vista, Calif., home designed around the needs of wounded veteran and retired U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Daniel “Doc” Jacobs, a hospital corpsman. With the final reveal on Thursday, the specially adapted, 100% mortgage-free smart home was built by the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence, Supporting Empowerment) Program.
We’re committed to workplace safety, and the proof of it is in the numbers.
Safety has been a primary focus of our culture for two decades, always driven by the aspiration of zero injuries. Many of our plants have had long periods without injuries occurring, so we know that our aspiration is possible. In addition, we have been successful in integrating safety into our acquisitions, rapidly improving their safety performance to be consistent with our legacy operations.
Jonathan Hernandez works in finance for our Insulation business in Mexico. In the four years he’s been with the company, he’s been continually inspired by Owens Corning’s commitment to helping the community near the plant in Mexico City. In a city that large, making connections is crucial, and Jonathan has demonstrated true leadership as he encourages the people at his site to engage with their community.
Starting a new job is always an adjustment, even in ideal circumstances. For Rob Martin, though, that adjustment was compounded by the fact that he joined Owens Corning in the midst of a global pandemic. Rob started as a communications lead supporting our finance and legal departments in June 2020, and he offers his perspectives on Owens Corning and his own onboarding experience.

Earlier this year, we shared the news that we had created an organization specifically focused on building Owens Corning’s circular economy program and capabilities. At its very core, this translates to a commitment to moving from a linear economy model to a circular one in everything we do.
Glass can be recycled over and over, which means it has great potential for the circular economy. Recycled glass can be reused to make new glass containers and fiberglass insulation, reducing waste. In fact, did you know Owens Corning fiberglass insulation contains 53-73% recycled glass?
