A semi-rigid fiberglass board in roll form with flexible and compressive strength qualities.

RESOURCES
Made from recycled glass and sand and uses a bio-based binder- a smarter alternative to phenol/formaldehyde (PF).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Earthwool insulation is not typically recycled in a closed-loop system and requires specialized programs. It can be down-cycled into materials like concrete reinforcement, but is not accepted in most municipal recycling centers. Misplacement in recycling streams can contaminate glass and plastic. It can be reused if undamaged, though this is not widely practiced. The material does not naturally decompose or compost.

HUMAN HEALTH
Earthwool has low VOC emissions thanks to its use of ECOSE® Technology, which contains no added formaldehyde and helps reduce indoor air pollutants. It also features less irritating fibers—unlike traditional fiberglass, Earthwool’s fibers are softer and less itchy, improving comfort and handling safety.
