On Thursday, July 1, the construction company Nico de Bont, part of Building Balance, received certification for making more than 100 homes more sustainable using biobased materials. How did they achieve this? By making clear choices. In 2023, CEO Boudewijn de Bont announced that the company would stop using glass wool and rock wool. Since January 2024, Nico de Bont has been operating according to that principle: biobased, unless otherwise specified.
