Problem
The construction and textile industries are among the most resource-intensive sectors, each contributing significantly to waste and climate impact. Insulation alone accounts for 19% of the total CO₂ footprint from building materials, while in Denmark alone, an estimated 57,200 tons of textiles are incinerated annually instead of being reused or recycled.
Solution
Insutex provides insulation products made from recycled textile waste, primarily cotton, transforming a waste stream into a valuable building resource. Their product line includes TexBatt 37 Bio, a biobased cotton batt designed for timber constructions and biogenic building projects, and GranuTex 44 Bio, a biobased cotton granulate suited for loft insulation. These products are lightweight, easy to install, and energy-efficient, helping reduce building energy consumption by up to 68% when properly applied. By replacing conventional insulation materials with recycled textile-based alternatives, Insutex supports the construction industry's transition toward more sustainable and circular material flows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction companies, builders, and contractors specializing in timber-frame and biogenic building projects, as well as insulation installers and architects seeking sustainable, circular insulation solutions.
