One question we often come across concerns the sustainability of different materials and technologies, be it solar panels or fiberglass insulation.\u00a0 The answer is that each material has it’s own advantages and disadvantages, so we should do our research before making a decision.\u00a0 In the following months we will review and evaluate different materials and technologies so it’s easier to decide.
\nMaterial science is experiencing radical innovation, particularly when it comes to natural materials.\u00a0 For example, Ecovative <\/a>has started to use mushroom to grow packaging and insulation.
\n\"insulation<\/a>
\nWhat this means is that no oil is used as feedstock for the material and that once it’s time to discard it, you can just put it in a forest or a garden and it will enrich the soil and go back to nature’s cycle.
\nTheir insulations products are not available to the general public yet, but we’ll keep you updated and add them to our list of options when they are ready.\u00a0 Among the striking features that this natural insulation material shows are:<\/p>\n
