Many products used today, such as expanded polystyrene, have a large environmental foot print, requiring petroleum and energy inputs to produce. This behavior is resulting in environmental damage, health problems, and rising material and energy costs.

- Biodegradable replacement for polystyrene and Styrofoam

- Comparable R-Value and non-flammable

- Inexpensive, cheaper than foam products

- No energy inputs, including heat and light since it's grown

- Uses agricultural and industrial waste streams

- No related health or allergy risks

Cost: 0.50 - 3.00 USD/ft³

R-Value: 3 per inch

Flammability: 8% mass loss at 800^oC from thermogravimetric analysis,
                  endothermic to 600^oC from thermogravimetric analysis

                  Expected Class A Fire Rating Cone Calorimeter Analysis

Density: 0.12 g/cm³

Compressive σ: 171.6 psi (ASTM C165-07)

Flexural σ: 53 psi (ASTM C203-05a)

Young's Modulus, E: 1,746.3 psi

Greensulate^TM composite is literally grown, requiring very little embodied energy. Has competitive R-Value and retail cost. Is a direct replacement for most polystyrene products and has a multitude of other applications.

Greensulate^TM can operate concurrently as a firewall, unlike polystyrene, which combusts releasing noxious fumes.
