Definition. Environmental scores for insulation leave out health and social effects. The Environmental Cost Indicator and building performance score exclude the health of residents and installers, working conditions, transport and the effect on nature — such as animals coming into contact with PS beads — so the environmental picture is incomplete.
A full assessment therefore needs more than the environmental-cost score alone. New Economy’s circular insulation study for Amsterdam reports this.
