Product: Cellulose Material Solutions EcoCell

Noah Kalina

Twenty-three percent of Americans still read a printed newspaper, which means approximately 72,500,096 dailys are tossed each day. Cellulose Material Solutions turns trash into treasure, making batt insulation from newspaper-based cellulose fibers. Designed for 2×4 stud framing, the newest version, Ecocell 5.5, has an R-value of 20. Batts come in 16″ and 24″ widths and 94″ and 96″ lengths; blankets come in 48″-by-96″ or 48″-by-108″ sizes. The product is processed with an EPA-registered fungicide and is completely recyclable at the end of its life. Yet another reason to keep print alive. cmsgreen.com
