I'd like to know how rockwool rates in the great green insulation race. We use this insulation most of the time for the reno work we do. Aside from being the standard for construction where acoustic isolation is primary (i.e. recording studios), it has excellent heat insulating qualities, its combustion temperature trumps pretty much anything else out there, and it also repels water.

Installation of this material still requires the use of masks and gloves, but it's way better than fibreglass bats!

That said, I really don't know anything about the manufacturing process... it is made of rock, so can I assume that it's relatively "green"?
