With this problem in mind, part of the building industry is refocusing itself towards sustainable construction with the renovation and recycling of materials playing an important role. Thermic insulation made of sheep’s wool (natural, renewable) and cotton (industrial, recyclable) are clear examples of this change, because they help to significantly reduce the environmental impact of most materials, a problem that can be synthesized in both the consumption of non-renewable resources and the generation of pollutant wastes. The life cycle analysis summary presented in this article, using environmental indicators like energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and environmental toxicity, confirms that nowadays sheep’s wool and cotton are two of the best options available for insulating buildings. La edificación tiene una gran repercusión en el impacto ambiental de la sociedad, debido en buena parte a la extracción y el uso de los materiales de construcción. Frente a este problema, una parte del sector experimenta el cambio hacia la construcción sostenible, resultando en ello de gran importancia la renovación y el reciclaje de los materiales. Los aislamientos térmicos de la lana de oveja (renovable) y de algodón (reciclado) son claros ejemplos de ese cambio porque ayudan a reducir significativamente el impacto ambiental de la mayoría de los materiales, sintetizado en el consumo de recursos no renovables y en la generación de residuos contaminantes. Tal como se demuestra en el análisis de ciclo de vida resumido y en la comparación de materiales mediante indicadores ambientales (consumo de energía, emisiones de CO2 y toxicidad) que se presentan en este artículo, la lana de oveja y el algodón son dos de las mejores opciones disponibles a la hora de abrigar edificios.

Buildings have a large repercussion on the environmental impact of society mainly due to the extraction and use of construction materials. With this problem in mind, part of the building industry is refocusing itself towards sustainable construction with the renovation and recycling of materials playing an important role. Thermic insulation made of sheep’s wool (natural, renewable) and cotton (industrial, recyclable) are clear examples of this change, because they help to significantly reduce the environmental impact of most materials, a problem that can be synthesized in both the consumption of non-renewable resources and the generation of pollutant wastes. The life cycle analysis summary presented in this article, using environmental indicators like energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and environmental toxicity, confirms that nowadays sheep’s wool and cotton are two of the best options available for insulating buildings. |
