Question Cocoon

Has anyone heard of a type if insulation in an attic called Cocoon Insulation. I did an inspection this morning an that is what the card in the attic called it. It is a blown in insulation of recycled materials. Never heard of it until today. How would its R- factor be figured. It lookes like a cotton fiber color and brown mixtured.

Thanks for any info.
