First off, all insulation is inherently “eco-friendly” in that it helps your home conserve more energy. However, the traditional fiberglass insulation is manufactured and disposed of in ways that are harmful to the environment. Greener options include cellulose, spray polyurethane foam, cotton fiber, or fiberglass made from recycled materials. In looking at performance, a higher “R-value” indicates a better insulation.
