This study investigates the impact of incorporating filler-based waste materials on the heat insulation properties using a waste chicken feather fiber with a new chemical formulation design of natural rubber latex binder. Chicken feathers, an abundant and low-cost waste byproduct, were selected as the fiber filler material. With rising chicken consumption, large quantities of waste are generated, necessitating proper disposal. One composed solely of pure rubber sheet and a waste chicken feather fiber sheet with a new natural rubber latex binder were tested. Heat insulation effectiveness was evaluated using a heat transfer hot plate to compare their heat transmittance. The findings demonstrate that the strategic incorporation of a waste chicken feather fiber sheet with a new natural rubber latex binder significantly reduces heat loss, enhancing heat insulation performance compared to pure rubber sheets. This material sheet a potential alternative for innovative insulation materials
