  1. MaterialTIMax GL Glass fibre insulationTIMax GL is a glass fibre insulation material that enhances the heat insulation (U-value) of profiled glass façade systems. TIMax GL is both translucent and light scattering. Due to this light scattering effect, even deep rooms can be illuminated evenly. TIMax GL additionally offers sun protection because it reduces the solar heat penetrating a window in the summer. .
  2. ArticleBiobased Nanocellulose Aerogels: Fire-Safe Insulation for Sustainable DesignInsulation materials are essential for energy-efficient buildings, yet conventional petroleum-derived foams are associated with significant drawbacks, including flammability, limited recyclability, and environmental impact. A…
  3. ArticleInsulation made of rice husks and newspapersA team of scientists at the Technological University of Panama developed an insulation material made of waste rice husks and old newspapers. In Panama,…
  4. ArticleInsulating instant windows in disaster areasThought up by humanitarian Wendelin Federer and designed by Reto Togni, Instant Windows are an affordable and insulating alternative for broken windows in disaster…
  5. ArticleKeep your products cool with sheep’s wool insulationWith our oceans polluted with plastic, a lot of which consists of singe-use plastic from packaging, it’s good to see more and more companies…
  6. MaterialMétisse recycled textile insulationMétisse insulation consists of leftover jeans and sweaters, a sustainable material that scores 3 out of 3 on the three pillars of sustainability. The clothing isn't burned but reused (Environment), the production of the material helps people with a disadvantage on the labour market (Society), and the material lowers the energy bill (Economy).
  7. MaterialInsulated GlassblockSBskin developed and patented a series of novel glassblock configurations, with the aim to optimize their energy performance. This high insulating glassblock is modified through a plastic thermal belt, for outside installations.
  8. MaterialInsulation with ECOSE TechnologyThis insulation material (65% recycled glass) is made from a natural, formaldehyde-free binder technology which uses renewable organic materials instead of oil based chemicals. This leads to a natural, earthy brown colour, free from dye or colorants. Benefits: a softer feel, less itchy, less dusty, odourless and easy to cut.
  9. ArticleMycelium Insulates Experimental Timber Pavilion in TallinnAn experimental timber pavilion in central Tallinn is showing how biobased and modular materials can change architecture. The project is a collaboration between materials…
  10. ArticleA plant-based fibre fill insulation materialUK-based start-up Saltyco developed a plant-based fibre fill insulation material which was used in a capsule collection by fashion label YOOX. Saltyco is a…
  11. MaterialPavatex woodfibre insulation boardsThis high-quality insulation is made from the renewable raw material wood, to give better protection against cold, heat, noise and fire. As natural materials, the fibreboards meet the most exacting requirements in terms of ecology and sustainability.
  12. MaterialCocos InsulationThe cocos insulation material is made from the natural coco fibres and can be used directly below a floating floor. The fibres have a high lignin content and thus a low cellulose content, therefore it is resilient, strong and highly durable. The material provides great acoustic damping and has a levelling effect.
  13. MaterialRecycled PIR insulationHigh-quality PIR insulation with recycled raw materials with a low environmental cost indicator (MKI) registered in the Dutch National Environmental Database (NMD). For use in floors, pitched and flat roofs and cavity walls in new-build and renovation projects.

  18. MaterialDaemwool natural wool insulationDaemwool is insulation material made from natural wool. Sheep's wool is an excellent insulation material even when it's damp, so that sheep keep warm in the rain. Wool also provides protection against overheating, thus cooling rooms in summer. In addition, wool is moisturising, acoustic, fire resistant, self-extinguishing, and neutralises harmful gasses and odours.
  19. ArticleCellulose-based foam insulates better than StyrofoamResearchers at Washington State University in the US developed an environmentally, cellulose-based foam that insulates better than oil-based Styrofoam. Polystyrene foam or Styrofoam, made…
