EU: Growers replacing asbestos panels with help of incentives

"The company will continue to implement sustainable measures and need not worry anymore about asbestos risks in the future," says Raymond Mauritz of Reytec. "Replacing roof panels during winter remains risky in view of the weather. For this project, we opted to work with multiple cranes so that the roof could be closed within a short timeframe."

The replacement of asbestos with insulating sandwich panels is an investment that falls under the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) program, which enables investing in energy-efficient technology and durable energy under favourable fiscal conditions.
