Kinda but not really, they’re both made from glass fibres, but are a very different product that serves a very different purpose. Fibreglass typically comes in a flat cloth, and is used with resin to create something structural.
I worked on a few buildings where they used straw balls lenght wise. They had meter thick walls and it’s very efficient. One of them only had a tiny wood stove
This is also nothing new, straw has been used as an insulation material for a very long time, even in “modern” buildings.
It’s just nowhere near as effective as glass wool, for example.
Is that the same as fiberglass?
Also “forbidden cotton candy”

In the US we generally use fiberglass to mean both. But specifying glass wool would be more clear tbh.
Would also match nomenclature with Mineral Wool Insulation.

Thats not efficient in terms of space though, you’d lose a lot of floor area that way.
It can be used as structure, not just insulation, if compressed right.
