Question from jiwaskow
I’m desperately seeking a safe insulation for our new “healthy house” construction. I have severe chemical sensitivities. I’ve ruled out all the known insulations for one reason or another.
Anyone heard of or tried Ecobatt insulation? (NFI)

Thanks

I haven’t used this product, so I can’t speak to how it smells, but it looks great on paper! Instead of using non-renewable toxic binders that include phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors, EcoBatt converts natural, rapidly renewable organic materials (not specified) into an inert polymer to use for the binder.
EcoBatt Insulation is made from sand–one of the world’s most abundant and renewable resources–a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled bottle glass and their renewable binder, and that’s it.
Has anyone tried this?
