Environmentally friendly XPS

In 2011 Austrotherm GmbH became the first Austrian maker of extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards whose products received an "eco certificate" from Nikolaus Berlakovich, then Austrian minister of the environment. The certificate has been renewed ever since; the current one was issued in May 2016 by minister Andrä Rupprechter and is valid until August 2019.

The certificate covers all five XPS boards made in our Austrian XPS plant in Purbach. The award to our Austrian colleagues is indirectly a recognition of our Serbian Austrotherm d.o.o. too, especially of our Niš plant, where Austrotherm XPS TOP 30 and Austrotherm XPS TOP P have been made since 2005 and, for some years, Austrotherm XPS TOP 50 and Austrotherm XPS TOP 70 as well. Production in Niš follows exactly the model set up in 2005 by our colleagues from the Purbach plant.
