The carbon footprint of Insulation Cork Board, ICB, is determined following a Life Cycle Thinking approach and the ISO/TS 14067 (2013) requirements. A “cradle-to-gate” life cycle analysis is done showing that ICB is carbon negative, due to the utilization of cork, a renewable raw material. A comparison with other insulation materials showed the superiority of ICB from a carbon footprint point of view.
