Recycled Insulation

We’re not exactly hippies. We not trying to change the world or demonise anyone for their behaviour, but we like to keep things green where possible. I’ve never been a fan of fibreglass insulation. The last thing this world needs is more new plastic products. After some Googling, I came across Carbon Zero, a recycled ‘Eco-wool’ (not real wool, thankfully – I’m a vegan). This insulation is made from recycled glass bottles. It’s amazingly warm and soft, not scratchy like fibreglass. Just driving with the two rolls in the back of the van cut out a lot of road noise, it’ll be fantastic once it’s installed.

The insulation is available from Homebase for about £15 a roll.
