KNOWN FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS

When Rainer Pöppel as Managing Director and third generation of the entrepreneurial family REGUPOL about the development of the past years, the terms Circular economy, Recycling and how naturally the topic Sustainability. "We are proud to be one of the largest recyclers of rubber, EVA and PU foam in Germany, recycled elastomers a new life, for example as a running track or footfall sound insulation. These valuable raw materials would simply be incinerated elsewhere and pollute our environment."

The REGUPOL BSW GmbH is known above all for her blue career in the Berlin Olympic Stadium well known. Usain Bolt ran both of his two World Championships in Athletics here in 2009. World records in the 100 and 200 metre sprints. He was and still is convinced of the quality of the REGUPOL career. That is why he became an advertising partner of the company in the same year and has remained so to this day. Just one year later, he and his fellow sprinters from the "Racers Track Club" were training on the same track surface as in Berlin. REGUPOL has installed the corresponding sports flooring on the grounds of the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica. Niels Pöppel, Vice President for the Sports division and the fourth generation at REGUPOLdescribes this special form of advertising partnership with Usain Bolt as follows: "The fastest man in the world has celebrated his successes on REGUPOL running tracks. Usain can look back on one of the most impressive careers in modern sports history."

With its recycling products, the REGUPOL other people, sustainable to live - and to build. In Herzogenaurach, for example. At the beginning of 2019, the global player Adidas built a new 2,000 jobs the "ARENA - World of Sports" was completed. The building is certified to the LEEDGold standard of the US Green Building Council for sustainable design. Also REGUPOL has contributed to this. An area of over 7,000 square metres was created on the mezzanine floor. Fall protection floor installed - one of the largest seamless Fall protection surfaces worldwide. The highlight: the elastic layer of the floor covering consists partly of recycled Adidas shoes.

Recycling is part of the company's DNA

In addition to its goal of offering architects, planners and decision-makers a customised solution for their construction project, resource-saving production is extremely important to REGUPOL. And has been for more than 65 years.
Recycling has been part of the company's DNA since it was founded in 1954. Since then, REGUPOL has dealt almost exclusively with the recycling of elastic raw materials.
Above all, this includes the processing of production offcuts that would otherwise be disposed of. At REGUPOL, these offcuts are reintroduced into the production process so that most of the offcuts are recycled within the company. In total, around 90,000 tonnes of elastomers are recycled each year.

Modern architecture and sustainability

Less visible than in a prestigious stadium or on a large outdoor surface, but nevertheless no less important and demanding, are the REGUPOL Products for Impact sound insulation and Vibration isolation in modern architectural projects. Roof terraces and pools in building complexes are decoupled, as are large hotels next to trams or in noisy environments. To a large extent, these recycled products consist of End-of-life tyres. They are used worldwide in attractive and
modern projects. These include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, The Shard in London, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg and various well-known hotels on the the whole world. One of the latest prestigious projects with REGUPOL products is the Kö-Bogen in Düsseldorf. It is located on the famous Königsallee, the so-called "Kö". The building complex in the Rhine metropolis houses shops and offices as well as flats. The modern building was awarded the LEED Platinum certificate for sustainable construction. This primarily relates to the use of renewable energies and the use of resource-saving building materials. The latter point also includes, for example, the REGUPOL Impact sound insulation under screed. Around 9,000 square metres were installed in the Kö-Bogen in multifunctional business premises. The product consists of over 85 per cent made from recycled material.
But it is not only this fact that makes it so sustainable. The REGUPOL products are extremely robust and durable. This means that both Conserving resources as well as Costs minimised.

Sustainable REGUPOL products in luxury flats

The dream of luxurious living has been realised with "The Ambassy - Parkside Living" in Vienna's prominent embassy district. The location of the former

Sparkasse was utilised for the construction of this luxurious, modern and urban residential complex. The various measures for Energy efficiency provide for Ecological sustainability.

Sustainable However, it is not only life in the luxurious flats that is characterised by optimal room ventilation, but also the construction itself. Urbanisation is increasingly presenting planners with challenges in terms of Noise and vibration protection. In the course of this REGUPOL products for impact sound insulation. Especially in multi-storey residential buildings, they offer Acoustic advantages with a low construction height and are also very sustainable. They consist of PUR-bonded elastomer particles with over 85 per cent recycled material.

"REGUPOL stands for a pronounced High service quality in the industry. Our customers can rely on this, because we advise, assemble and Plan exciting projects together in the whole world", Rainer Pöppel summarises the Company philosophy together.
