Blown-in Cellulose is eco-friendly, well-effective insulation derived from the Cellulose in plants and is commonly made using recycled paper, cardboard, and other types of paper. More specifically, it is made from hammer-milling old and scrap newspapers. The manufacturing process then includes repeatedly hammering to beat the paper or cardboard down until it is completely shredded into smaller pieces. Modern cellulose insulation is made up of 75-85 percent of ground-up recycled paper or recycled denim. It is a type of plant fibre with a high R-value that can make your home more draft-proof and soundproof. The high R-value is mainly made from recycled paper derived from wood fibre. Cellulose can be blown into wall or attic cavities with blowing machines - tiny particles of plant fibre form an effective insulation.
