Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Carbon-Storing Insulation Manufacturing Facility in Washington State

The objective of this project is to establish a 67,500 square foot production facility in Washington State to produce an advanced form of cellulose insulation from recycled cardboard.

This insulation is for residential retrofit and new construction applications.

The production facility will provide regional access to a market-ready, domestically sourced, low-carbon building material, address emerging gaps in the domestic cellulose insulation supply chain, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by enabling regional adoption of a carbon-negative insulation system.
