The material
Built around the way you build.
Engineered performance
Lower thermal conductivity is our target. Thinner insulation is the opportunity.
Practical by design
Three planned formats for different construction and installation needs.
CO₂-neutral target
Recycled fibres and mineralised CO₂ form the basis of our footprint strategy.

Built to compete
Material efficiency and usable space connect performance to project value.
Performance visualised
Same thermal target.Less wall.
Move the slider to see how lower thermal conductivity can turn wall thickness into usable space inside a building.
Building movement is visually amplified for legibility; displayed values use Ecolation's 6.69 in modeled base thickness at the same target U-value. Final wall assemblies require certified product and project-specific data.

Methodology and source basisSee the formulas, assumptions and evidence status behind the model.View methodology
Equivalent wall thickness
Reference thickness = Ecolation thickness × reference λ ÷ Ecolation λ. Both assemblies are compared at the same target U-value.
Usable floor area
Additional floor area = building perimeter × saved wall thickness × number of storeys.
Material economics
Material cost = exterior wall area × insulation thickness × modeled material price.
Project value
Net project value uplift = additional sales value + material cost difference. Rent and the included cooling benefits are reported separately to avoid double counting.

Final verification
Requires certified data, project wall assemblies and project-specific energy simulation.
Illustrative planning model—not a quote, guarantee or certified building calculation. Final values require certified thermal data, project-specific wall assemblies, climate assumptions and dynamic building-energy simulation.
Sustainability
Performance and sustainabilityshould not be a trade-off.
Recycled inputs. Mineralised CO₂. A planned life beyond the building.
Early-stage concept & strategy
Co-developed with UNEP.
During a one-year phase, specialists from the UN Environment Programme accompanied Ecolation's early concept and strategy work. Their input helped integrate resource efficiency and circular thinking into the material concept, planned production route and business model.
Circular fibre backbone
Recycled cellulose forms the structural fibre network and creates a circular, widely available material base.
Mineralised functionality
Calcium carbonate phases are designed to support robustness, stability, moisture resilience and fire-performance potential.
Physical CO₂ storage
CO₂ is bound in mineral form within the insulation material as part of the mineralisation process.
Porous insulation structure
High porosity supports low heat transfer and practical blow-in applications across real construction projects.
Selected framework alignment

global goals.
Our development priorities connect to four UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Beyond use
Designed with the full life cycle in mind.
Resource use, production logic, building performance and end-of-life pathways are considered as one connected system.
Circular inputs
Recycled paper fibres and industrial CO₂ become core raw materials rather than unused material streams.
Long-life performance
Mineralised functionality is designed to support robust, stable insulation for long-lived building applications.
End-of-life pathway
The material is designed for conversion into biochar through pyrolysis, extending carbon storage beyond the building's lifetime.
Digital transparency
Our goal is Digital Product Passport readiness with traceable composition, origin, performance and end-of-life data.
