Knauf loft insulation

[BuckOff]

Hi
Was wondering if anyone knows the difference between the Knauf Insulation Earthwool and tha Knauf EKO Roll from B&Q, quite a difference in price.
On the B&Q website it says the EKO is a super top up layer, but I will be removing my old loft insulation prior to putting in new, as over the years its been badly damaged, so would that suffice.
Has anyone any recommendations what they've used.
Thanks

Knauf | Mineral Wool Insulation With The ECOSE® Difference

ECOSE® is Knauf Insulation’s plant-based binder. It’s low-carbon, contains low-VOCs & used to create better buildings for occupiers & installers.

Looks like it's just made to be handled better, less dust and possible irritation. Only had a brief look though but on face value it doesn't offer you better thermal qualities over the standard stuff.

Whats wrong with the old stuff, even battered old stuff with a lovely thick top up layer will be better than chucking it away .

Yeah don't throw the old stuff away, just stick another layer on top.

Cheers everyone, the old stuff is in pieces to be fair, just sooner get some good stuff down as a base layer, then hopefully some loft legs and then all done
