摘要: Greasy sheep wool is currently considered a special waste for its high bacterial load, with expensive disposal costs breeders. For this reason, often burned or buried, serious consequences the environment. On other hand, well regarded as one of most performative insulating natural fibers due to thermo-hygrometric and acoustic properties. In building sector, meets requirements green components because it an eco-friendly material, there surplus it, annually renewable, totally recyclable. If used instead common insulation materials (e.g., fiberglass, rock wool, polyurethane foam, polystyrene), offers significant benefits sustainability such reduction in production new environmental pollution. Mechanical physical properties investigated previous studies were assessed discussed aim providing organized framework possible applications components. This paper highlights detail aspects that have not yet been enough detect potential uses rural buildings reuse traditional ones.
