Cork insulation

Anyone use cork insulation in their van? I like the idea of it being a sustainable solution. That said its a diesel camper :wink:

I've not used it in a van but tried very thick cork tiles in a boat years ago. I found that it didn't give as much insulation as hoped. Modern materials with air in the structure are by far much superior. My recommendation would be to not use it.
Someone else may have a different viewpoint though.
