It's safe to say that all types of building insulation are “green” because they save energy. But cellulose insulation has an extra measure of green because it’s made from old newspapers and other waste paper that would otherwise be dumped in landfills.
Special grinding machinery is used to transform the waste paper into a fluffy, lightweight material with insulation value as high as R-4 per in.
The insulation is then treated with a nontoxic borate solution that gives the material a Class 1 (the highest) fire safety rating, while also making it resistant to mold and insects.
Cellulose is packaged in large plastic bags that are then distributed to local insulation contractors and retail distributors.
Loose-fill or blown cellulose is usually installed using blowing equipment. One worker feeds cellulose into a hopper and blower unit that supplies shredded cellulose through a long hose to another worker. Blown cellulose is an excellent way to insulate an unfinished attic.
Dense-pack cellulose is used to insulate wall cavities and other enclosed spaces. This application technique calls for 2-in.-diameter access holes to be drilled into the cavities, so that a small application nozzle can be inserted to inject the insulation. Access holes are plugged when the job is complete.
Wet spray cellulose is used to insulate open stud bays in new construction. Adding water and (in some cases) a binder compound to the dry cellulose enables the sprayed-on insulation to stick to itself and other building components.
