Join us for what will be a fascinating introduct to the manufacture and use of Natural Fibre Insulation in sustainable buildings, during a tour of IndiNature's first manufacturing mill - based in the heart of the Scottish Borders!
IndiNature was set up to positively impact the climate, environment, and the health of building occupants and installers by adapting highly sustainable UK crops into the world's best natural fibre insulation. Natural fibre insulation has been used on scale across Europe for decades, but now with people becoming more aware of the climate emergency the market for its use closer to home is seeing rapid growth. Durable, vapour breathable and healthy to install – natural fibre insulation is better for your health and your planet than other, artificially created, insulation products.
In addition, the IndiNature team are also proud that products created in their Jedburgh home are on course to save almost 5 million trees worth of carbon entering the atmosphere.
They are very excited to show their Scottish mill off to the world and can’t wait to see more beautiful, healthy buildings made with natural fibres. Warm homes, cool planet!
