The company Bonded Logic is credited with is a high-performance insulation that’s made from scraps and clippings from the manufacture of denim clothing.
The manufacturing of recycled denim insulation is a zero-waste process. Scraps of denim fabric are processed to achieve a loose-fiber form that resembles cotton candy. The material is then treated for resistance to fire, mold, mildew and pests, blended with bonding fibers and heated. Finally, it’s cut into batts. Any scraps from the manufacturing process can be shredded and returned to the raw material supply.
The end product of that process is Ultra Touch Insulation, which contains 80 per cent of post-consumer recycled natural fibres.
This insulation is suitable for residential and commercial use in the same places as fiberglass or mineral wool batts would be used—between open roof rafters, ceiling joists and wall studs.
Recycled denim insulation offers multiple advantages such as sustainability, eco-friendliness, thermal insulation, better outdoor acoustics, better indoor air quality.
