Introducing to FF,
manufactured
from 80% biomass-based raw materials, as evidenced by the REDcert2 certification and product-specific Environmental Performance Declaration (EPD). BauderECO FF has been developed to offer an alternative to conventional PIR insulation manufactured
from fossil fuel
derivatives – without compromising the performance of the product. The insulation is specified within warm roof construction for a heat/conditioned building on both new- build construction and the refurbishment of existing flat roofs. ECO FF PIR insulation is already being selected by clients aiming to achieve carbon reduction targets for sustainability and a net zero carbon roadmap across their supply chain for building construction and refurbishment.
What is the biomass balance approach?
The biomass balance approach is a chain of custody model designed to track the total amount of renewable biomass-based raw material content through the manufacturing process or supply chain,
ensuring an
appropriate allocation of this content to the final product. The production method permits the blending of sustainably sourced materials with non-renewable resources. This approach enables manufacturers, such as Bauder, to integrate alternative bio-based raw materials into existing, complex production pathways, efficiently with minimal requirements for additional or modified plant and equipment.

waterproofing solutions, which have been tested and are available for specification. Within Bauder’s reinforced bitumen membrane system portfolio, Bauder Total Roof System (BTRS) is available with BauderECO FF. There are a range of capping sheets for a tailored solution to meet individual project requirements. The completed waterproofing system can be enhanced with green roofs, solar photovoltaics (PV), or a biosolar system. Bauder Thermofol is a single ply system suitable with BauderECO FF
insulation
comprising a mechanically-fixed application. Single ply solutions are advantageous for projects where loadbearing limits are a factor due to its lightweight properties compared to other waterproofing systems. The membrane offers root resistance for extensive green roofs. The waterproofing also allows for solar PV, and/or an integrated biosolar system. It
is important to note that under the biomass balance model,
the resulting Plus points
BauderECO FF insulation offers numerous advantages including: • Achieving low-embodied carbon compared to Bauder’s standard PIR offering.
• The product is manufactured using renewable materials from biomass waste and residues to save fossil reserves, for example, agricultural production, crop, or food processing.
• Retaining all the advantages and technical characteristics of Bauder’s PIR insulation, such as weight, durability, and fire performance.
• The product presents a suitable alternative for specifiers seeking to achieve sustainability goals while maintaining the performance of Bauder’s renowned PIR insulation.
The above claims are verified in Bauder’s EPD certification, in accordance with product- specific REDcert2 certification.

products may not contain quoted volumes of biomass-based raw material. However, the volumes of biomass-based raw material are allocated and verified by a third-party certification scheme. In this process, the volume of biomass inputs, and Bauder’s outputs,
are independently verified and certified in accordance with the REDcert2 standard sustainability certification. Bauder is renowned for its flat roof solutions which encompass green roofs, blue roofs, and photovoltaics. With the introduction of BauderECO FF, it is taking important steps by advancing its manufacturing processes by implementing the biomass balance approach. Clients choose Bauder because of the way the company approaches treating each project individually,
collaborating with clients to deliver the most appropriate solution for a building and all stakeholders involved.
