I think it's kind of like a low-density polyurethane foam (unless I'm confusing it with some other product). It's only "green" in the sense that it saves a lot of energy in heating costs. I'm not sure whether there's a non-petrochemical equivalent. I don't think Icynene is recyclable, but again, I'm not sure. I imagine it's just about as flammable (and as toxic when exposed to fire) as any other type of petroleum-based foam. But again, all of this assumes I'm remembering the type of insulation correctly. If I'm not, I'm sure someone will happily correct me. ;) Brina
