Development of eco-friendly wall insulation layer utilising the wastes of the packing industry.

Efficient thermal insulation materials considerably lower power consumption for heating and cooling of buildings, which in turn minimises CO emissions and improves indoor comfort conditions. However, the selection of suitable insulation materials is governed by several factors, such as the environmental impact, health impact, cost and durability. Additionally, the disposal of used insulation materials is a major factor that affects the selection of materials because some materials could be very toxic for humans and the environment, such as asbestos-containing materials.
