Greensulate, Home Insulation Material made from Mushrooms
Two engineering grads from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, have a patent for an earth-friendly insulation material made out of water, flour, minerals, and mushroom spores. This product which would replace the pink insulation now commonly used in most homes would be an eco- friendly alternative.
As reported in Chief Engineer, the organic insulation material which goes by the name Greensulate, is sustainable, is produced with little energy and cost, versus other insulation material.
The two grads are hoping to make this available to home builders and the general public in perhaps a year or two after more testing and research. They would like to see this become a mainstream application in homes across America. We hope so, too.
