COMPARING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF BIO-BASED AND CONVENTIONAL INSULATION MATERIALS

Abstract

In this article we report the results of a study using Life Cycle Assessment methods to evaluate the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of five bio-based materials (mycelium, flax, sheep’s wool, cellulose, wood fibre and cork) and two non-renewable insulation materials (mineral wool and PUR). This research demonstrated that sheep’s wool can have a GWP lower than competing non-bio-based materials. However, other bio-based materials, though made using renewable resources, can have higher GWP than non-renewable insulation. The aim of this paper is to share information on the GWP of bio-based materials to inform the selection of sustainable building products.
