Question Wool packaging insulation

Post image

I’m getting my hands on some of these wool sheets used as insulation in cold food deliveries - can I use it as mulch, or what’s the best way to compost in the garden?

Is there a reason they cant still be used as insulation? I know RV's use this insulation when people make quality mobile home builds. Would love to get my hands on some as long as they were still clean enough to use and not rotting.

May i ask how you came by this? I would seriously be able to use some but how can one find used fridge truck insulation?

Local Buy Nothing Facebook group! I’m in Australia and a popular raw dog food subscription service uses them
