JeanuisTM Insulation is a sustainable thermal insulation made from post-industrial re-purposed denim fibres, providing both high acoustic protection along with excellent thermal insulation it is soft to touch, safe to handle, and free from added harmful chemicals.
Planet Protector’s JeaniusTM Denim Insulation repurposes post-industrial denim waste into a high-performance thermal and acoustic solution. Planet Protector is redefining construction by manufacturing regenerative alternatives that are safe, scalable, and circular.
JeaniusTM Denim Insulation outperforms conventional products. It delivers thermal resistance up to R6, keeping buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Closing the loop on waste, JeaniusTM Denim Insulation empowers builders and architects to specify a product that is not only high-performing but also restorative for people, planet, and industry. JeaniusTM Denim Insulation serves as a powerful reminder that waste only becomes waste when we fail to see its potential.

A Jeanius installation
Recently we were fortunate to visit a home that was installing our JeaniusTM recycled denim insulation. Being built by G-LUX builders to Passivhaus certification standards. Jesse Glascott, Director G-LUX and a Director of the Sustainable Builders Association, spoke with Andrew Healy, Bowens Product Innovation & Business Development Manager, about the JeaniusTM insulation, what it’s like to install and how cosy the home was feeling as the installation progressed. JeaniusTM will be available in Victoria at Bowens.
How to cut Jeanius
Jesse Glascott, Director G-LUX and a Director of the Sustainable Builders Association, demonstrates how JeaniusTM recycled denim insulation cuts like a load of bread with the use of a Bahco insulation saw.
