Our puren sustainability principle brings together different measures relating to product performance, material use and the recovery of PU materials. Learn more about the individual aspects here.
Outstanding product properties are never a matter of chance. The better a product or material is, the more intensively it has been worked on in advance to achieve these performance characteristics. This is particularly true of the high-performance insulating material polyurethane. For example, polyurethane insulating materials from puren with thermal conductivity grade WLS 023 insulate up to two-thirds better than conventional insulating materials with WLS 040.
First-class values in terms of thermal conductivity, fire protection and energy efficiency thus speak for PUR/PIR insulating materials that bear the puren trademark. Extremely good insulating properties keep the heat in during the winter and provide excellent protection against summer heat during the summer. Easy processing and high thermal performance make puren insulating materials suitable for use in pitched roofs, flat roofs, facades (including ETICS), floors and ceilings.
Polyurethanes belong to the family of thermosets. They do not melt even at high temperatures and remain dimensionally and shape-stable. Polyurethanes are also highly compressive, durable, water repellent and resistant to almost all construction chemicals. Factory-made thermal insulation products made of rigid polyurethane foam are standardized throughout Europe (DIN EN 13165).
The recovery and recycling of PU residual materials have been part of our activities for many years. Production residues and suitable PU materials from construction sites can be used in the manufacture of purenit functional materials.
With Next Step PU, puren has established a take-back system for suitable rigid PU foams. Unmixed, uncontaminated, CFC- and HCFC-free rigid polyurethane foams can be taken back free of charge if delivered freight paid. The return takes place on a contractual basis.
Further information about Next Step PU, the take-back system and its conditions can be found in our information brochure.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent and standardised information on the environmental impacts of construction products. Together with the IVPU, we provide Environmental Product Declarations for factory-made polyurethane insulation materials via the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. (IBU).
Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs for short, provide information on defined environmental indicators across specified stages of a product's life cycle. All EPDs can be found in the download section.
Selected puren insulation products from our pitched roof, flat roof and facade ranges carry the pure life quality mark. The products are tested by the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research, Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institut (WKI), according to defined criteria regarding ingredients and the release of volatile substances (emissions).
The tests focus in particular on the ingredients used and emissions relevant to indoor air quality. Products bearing the pure life quality mark meet the specified material and emission requirements.
This provides transparent information on tested product properties when selecting building and insulation materials for new construction and renovation projects.
Further information on pure life, the test criteria and the quality mark can be found at purelife-info.de and in our brochure.
With Ecoservice24.com, a subsidiary of Interseroh Dienstleistungs GmbH, we now offer our customers a simple disposal option for unmixed PU insulation residues. In addition, as a member of the Industrieverband Polyurethan-Hartschaum e.V. (IVPU), we offer a 10% discount on this nationwide collection service.
The containers can be ordered in the desired size simply on-line with www.ecoservice24.com Germany far. The collection of the containers is also requested online. As a puren customer, you can use the discount code IVPU10 to receive a 10% discount on the collection service. Within 2 working days the containers will be picked up. Hazardous waste, other insulation materials, liquids or insulation boards with adhesions and impurities are not allowed in the container! The IVPU fact paper "IVPU Disposal Service for PU Insulation Residues" provides information about ordering, filling and collecting the containers and answers the most important questions about the disposal service.
puren operates an environmental management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001. As part of this system, we continuously work to improve the environmental performance of our production processes. The standard defines the minimum requirements for all relevant environmental aspects of the company's activities, products and services.
Safety at our production sites is a high priority for puren. Technical, structural and organisational measures are implemented to minimise operational risks to employees, neighbouring communities and the surrounding environment.

The European Whistleblower Protection Act protects whistleblowers and prescribes uniform standards for reporting misconduct and for the protection of those reporting it. By drawing attention to misconduct, unethical or unlawful behaviour* of others, whistleblowers assume a great deal of responsibility for society and therefore deserve protection against any disadvantages they may face as a result of their report and which could deter them from reporting.
Unethical and, in particular, unlawful behaviour may cause considerable damage to puren as a company, to its employees, but also to the general public. In order to uncover and prevent such behaviour, puren has set up a whistleblower site: Employees, suppliers, customers and other third parties may contact the external and neutral office of the law firm Daub if they have any suspicion or indication of such misconduct.
The confidentiality of the identity of the person providing the information will be protected.
