Polyester is a synthetic fibre, made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the same material used to make plastic drink bottles. GreenStuf® contains a minimum of 45% recycled polyester fibre from previously used PET drink bottles, keeping them out of landfills. GreenStuf® acoustic products can contain up to 85% recycled polyester fibre.
No, heat is used to bind the fibres that form the structure of GreenStuf®. Some manufacturers of fibreglass insulation still use formaldehyde based binders. Formaldehyde is a known and classified human carcinogen.
The R-Value of insulation is the industry standard measurement of thermal resistance. The higher the R-Value the greater the performance, meaning your home stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Put simply - you get what you pay for. The raw material, chemicals and processes used to manufacture fibreglass are reflected in the price.
However that cheaper material comes at a big cost to performance, health and the environment. The raw materials and manufacturing process used to produce GreenStuf® considers much more than just price. GreenStuf® is about quality and value. GreenStuf® will not deteriorate or break down over time and is backed by a 50 Year Product Durability Warranty. GreenStuf® is also completely safe for you,
your family and our environment.

Quite simply because it is the best choice. GreenStuf® is safe for you and our environment. GreenStuf® does not contain chemical additives and will never pose a future health risk to you or our planet. All Autex Insulation products contain already recycled fibre, and remain fully recyclable. GreenStuf® is non-irritant, non-toxic and nonallergenic and the fibres are not of a respirable size (i.e. cannot be breathed into your lungs) so they are safe for people living with asthma. GreenStuf® will never break down or reduce its performance over time. We think that if you’re insulating, do it once and do it right. GreenStuf® is manufactured in New Zealand by Autex, a 100% New Zealand owned and
operated family company.
