Troldtekt A/S reduces carbon footprint with new initiatives
I
n three years, Troldtekt has reduced its carbon footprint per square metre of acoustic panels produced by 6.9%. This is shown by data in Troldtekt’s CSR report for 2023. The reduction has occurred in Scope 3, which mainly covers cement from Aalborg Portland. Part of the explanation is due to the cement type FUTURECEM™.
Troldtekt®
Cement provides the well-known acoustic panels with their
robustness, fire retardant properties and extensive durability. But the cement from
Aalborg Portland also accounts for virtually the entire carbon footprint of the panels. In 2023, Troldtekt reduced its carbon footprint per square metre of acoustic panel produced by 4.3%. Over three years – from 2020 to 2023 – the reduction has been 6.9%. The new CO2
figures are included in
Troldtekt’s CSR report for 2023. It shows that 99% of the carbon footprint in 2023 came from the
so-called Scope 3, which
primarily covers the purchase of cement. At Troldtekt’s own factory (Scope 1 and 2), 94.5% of energy consumption in 2023 came from renewable sources in the form of biofuel and wind power. This figure was slightly lower than in previous years due to a period of maintenance on the biomass boiler.
FUTURECEM MAKES A DIFFERENCE In 2023, Troldtekt doubled the share of acoustic panels produced based on the cement type FUTURECEM. Together with other reductions at Aalborg Portland, this

is a significant part of the explanation for the decrease in the carbon footprint. FUTURECEM utilises the synergies between calcined clay and lime filler, making it possible to replace a large part of the burnt clinker in the cement.
Over the entire product life cycle, the carbon footprint of Troldtekt acoustic panels based on FUTURECEM is: •
26% lower than that of Troldtekt panels based on grey cement
•
38% lower than that of Troldtekt panels based on white cement.

Mapei fl oor preparation and fi xing products have featured as part of a net zero carbon in operation school project at Winterstoke Hundred Academy secondary school in Somerset. It was designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating and protected local plants and wildlife through a biodiversity net gain of 10%. Forbo designs specifi ed included Sphera Element homogeneous vinyl fl ooring, Sphera SD anti-static vinyl fl ooring, Surestep Original safety fl ooring and Safestep R12 safety fl ooring. During the fl ooring installation, Mapei Eco Prim T Plus universal acrylic primer was used to treat the substrates. Mapei Latexplan Trade – a protein-free, low odour levelling and smoothing compound – and Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 fi bre- reinforced self levelling compound were used to prepare subfl oors, along with Mapeproof One Coat surface damp proof membrane. Two Mapei adhesives, featuring solvent-free and very low VOC formulations, were used to complete the fl ooring installation. They included multi-purpose adhesive, Ultrabond Eco Fix and Ultrabond Eco TX3 wet grab adhesive.
