This is bailed paper being converted to cellulose insulation

We chose cellulose insulation because it has better sound control, has a higher effective R factor, is fire retardant, controls mold and mildew, controls insects, controls air leaks and is environmentally friendly.  The production of cellulose insulation saves energy because traditional Fiberglas insulation requires 40 times more energy to produce.
