What makes WeathershieldTM Cellulose a Green product?
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newsprint and other paper sources, paper that might otherwise end up in landfills, releasing greenhouse gases as it decomposes. Cellulose takes less energy to make than any other type of insulation. This is known as embodied energy, and includes total energy required to transport raw materials, manufacture and distribute the product. Fiberglass has up to 10 times more embodied energy, and foam products up to 64 times more embodied energy, than cellulose. The Can-Cell WeathershieldTM and WallbarTM cellulose insulations used by Attic Master Insulation are manufactured right here in Edmonton, Alberta.
