    Going green is about more than the product that slides off the lumber truck at your jobsite. Part of it is about the process it takes to get that product there in the first place.

    Johns Manville's Spider Formaldehyde-Free insulation products take formaldehyde — a volatile organic compound (VOC) — out of the production cycle with far-reaching, positive effects.

    Making the products themselves is a much cleaner process, which is a big deal on an industrial scale. Add to that JM's use of loads of recycled glass in the fiberglass portion of the product: that diverts waste from landfills. And, with no formaldehyde in your customer's home, the air — or health — of the building is improved, according to the company.

    With a wide array of products — batts with various backings, a break-away batt product that reduces cutting on-site and a blown-in type — Johns Manville creates what I call a green supply chain.
