Comment about Raw materials: Not only is it fiberized newspaper, but national Fiber goes to great lengths to use the cleanest paper available.

Comment about Toxicity: Everything I've researched says virtually none. The product is fiberized over issue newspaper and borates, and borates have extremely low toxicity.

Comment about Resource Recovery: The installers did a great job recovering unused cellulose back to the truck.

Comment about First Costs/Price: More expensive certainly, than fiberglass, but the superior performance quickly offsets that cost. Less expensive than many sprayed foams, which I wouldn't consider because I don't want them in my home.
