Borders factory to produce green insulation for homes and create up to 30 jobs

Scotland’s first factory producing “carbon negative” insulation for homes and commercial properties is to be set up following a multi-million-pound investment.

Construction materials business IndiNature plans to open its Borders manufacturing hub next summer and grow its workforce to 30.

The company has developed a natural fibre insulation system using hemp grown in the UK, that can be fitted both in new and retrofit building projects.
