As a manufacturer of Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP), we were delighted to participate in the VIPA International Annual Conference 2025 at the Ikon Global Innovation Center in Ireland.
The event provided exciting insights into:
Current research and technological developments
> New application areas for VIP
> Regulatory trends in the insulation industry
> Exchange with international experts and partners
The open dialogue and innovative strength of the industry once again showed us that vacuum insulation panels are the way of the future.
Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have been an essential component in the cooling, construction, and logistics industries for over 30 years. They provide reliable protection for temperature-controlled products, ensuring the safety and quality of numerous vital goods. But what happens to VIPs when they reach the end of their lifecycle?
Together with one of our partners in the pharmaceutical transport box sector and with support from the German Federal Environmental Foundation, we have launched a project to advance the circular economy of VIP support cores. The goal: recycling VIP core materials with a maximum proportion of recycled content, significantly reducing the ecological footprint.
According to a detailed calculation conducted with TU Dortmund, the potential carbon emission savings for Vaku-Isotherm alone amount to more than 1,000 tons of CO₂e annually. On a global scale, this could lead to estimated savings of 76,000 tons of CO₂e per year.
In 2024 alone, Vaku-Isotherm recycled 140 pallets of expired VIPs from the transport box sector, which were then reused in construction and other industries. This contributes to a reduction in raw material usage by up to 90% – a crucial step toward a more sustainable future.
"For many years, we have been investing in the sustainability of our value chain for both ecological and economic reasons. The focus is now on building an efficient circular economy," says Sebastian Baars, CEO of Vaku-Isotherm.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Repurpose. Together with our customers, we are taking this path and making a bold statement for a greener future!

Just in time for the colder season and the associated increase in energy demand, our company’s participation in this inspiring event was a valuable opportunity to showcase our energy-efficient vacuum insulation.
From expert presentations to networking opportunities, the day provided an excellent platform to connect with builders, companies, and like-minded professionals in the industry. We had the chance to present our vacuum insulation, which sparked particular interest among visitors focused on renovating existing buildings.
The discussions on current challenges and solutions for a sustainable energy future and energy-efficient construction were especially insightful. Engaging with so many passionate participants also highlighted the significant potential of collaborative efforts to save energy.
A big thank you to the organizers, Volksbank Mittweida eG and TeleskopEffekt GmbH, as well as to everyone who enriched the day with their valuable contributions!
Last week, at the company run in Chemnitz, we not only braved the midsummer 34-degree heat, but also showcased a great mix of athletic ambition and creative advertising!
Part of our team shone with outstanding performances, while the other part – true to the motto 'Those who run slower advertise longer!' – took the opportunity to highlight our vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) along the way. With us: our handcart, packed with cool drinks in our thermal box, which not only provided refreshment but also drew curious glances towards our VIPs. A big thank you to everyone who cheered us on!
It was a fantastic event filled with fun and, of course, a little muscle soreness.
2 days – top speed with theory and practice as well as a breath of fresh air for new paths lie behind us. We focused on various topics such as acquiring new customers and expanding existing business relationships.
We would like to thank you for the very interesting training and look forward to applying the new impulses, ideas and approaches in our day-to-day business.
