Eco-Friendly Insulation: What Makes Cellulose a Green Choice?

If you’re looking for an insulation material that’s both effective and environmentally responsible, look no further than cellulose. At EcoMax Insulation, we work with builders and homeowners who care about comfort and sustainability — and cellulose offers the perfect balance.

Made from recycled materials, treated for safety, and designed for performance, cellulose insulation is more than a “green” choice — it’s a smart one.

♻️ What Is Cellulose Insulation?

Cellulose is primarily made from recycled newspaper and paper fibers. It’s treated with natural, non-toxic additives to make it:

• Fire-resistant (Class A rated)

• Mold- and pest-resistant

• Safe for indoor air quality

It’s typically blown in to cover large areas or dense-packed into wall cavities for retrofits and soundproofing.

Why It’s Eco-Friendly

• Recycled content: Up to 85% post-consumer material

• Low embodied energy: Takes less energy to produce than fiberglass or foam

• Biodegradable & safe: No harmful off-gassing

• Waste reduction: Keeps paper out of landfills

Choosing cellulose reduces your home’s carbon footprint — both in the short and long term.

Where We Use It

At EcoMax, we recommend cellulose for:

• Attic blow-in insulation

• Dense-pack walls (old homes, remodels)

• Interior soundproofing

• Projects with green building goals or LEED requirements

We use professional-grade equipment to ensure consistent fill, proper density, and minimal settling.
