English term or phrase: white blowing wool
The project deals with building a small third production line in XXX to produce white blowing wool, especially for the UK market. The application of such a binderless, flaked, white wool is mainly in cavity walls. Cavity walls are a common construction feature in the UK, in the residential and non-residential segments: for instance, in the residential segment, 17M houses out of the 25,6M existing stock of houses have cavity walls.

I am sticking my neck out here, but I assume this is used for insulation and according to the website this would be the material in question here?! Wait for more answers;

Dämmstoffgranulat oder -flocken (oder vielleicht auch -wolle) für Einblastechnik


Explanation:
Das Granulat kann aus Mineralwolle, Glaswolle oder aber auch aus natürlichen Materialien wie Zellulose oder auch Hanffasern bestehen. Ich weiss nicht, inwieweit das Wort "Wolle" in diesem Zusammenhang wörtlich zu nehmen ist. In UK ist, glaube ich die mineralische Wolle sehr beliebt zur Dämmung von alten Häusern.
