Cellulose

Cellulose is a primary component of plant fibres and is used in papermaking, for example. To make insulation the main source is recycled paper: sorted newsprint is shredded and pest and fire protection agents such as boric acid are added.

Producing cellulose fibre panels takes much more energy than producing loose-fill cellulose.
