Unlike other forms of insulation, Celbar has very high post consumer recycled content. When you use Celbar in your home, you can feel good about helping reduce the environmental problems now facing our man-made landfills. Increasing our environmental responsibility allows our generation and ones to follow the chance to enjoy Planet Earth and live a healthy life.

According to the Construction Specifier, March 1994, cellulose is the least energy intensive product when compared to vitreous [glassy] materials. To assess the efficiency of any product, the embodied energy must be first factored. This energy factor is the amount of energy required to produce, transport, and install any product.

Unlike cellulose, vitreous fiber insulation is produced by melting sand, slag or rock in a hot furnace that burns fossil fuels, releasing those spent gasses into our air as pollution. To maintain their extreme high temperatures, the furnace operates continually, never shutting down for the weekend.

Celbar Insulation is processed in a clean, efficient, electrically-driven mill that requires relatively little amounts of energy. At the end of the production day, on weekends, and holidays, the mill shuts-down totally. Information supplied to the Canadian Standards Association by a vitreous manufacturer indicated it required 59 times more energy than cellulose on a pound for pound basis.
