Description
The Hurd Co is the exclusive producer of agrilose™, a man-made cellulosic (MMC) feedstock pulp made from 100% agricultural waste.
Apparel brands use agrilose to produce viscose/rayon, modal, or lyocell fabric, which are normally made from trees. Instead of trees, The Hurd Co uses agriwaste: plant material that is normally thrown away or burned after food crops are harvested. Traditional pulping technologies (i.e. kraft pulping) are too harsh to extract viable cellulose from agricultural residues. The Hurd Co's patented process works with various agricultural wastes.
The Hurd Co’s patented zero waste process uses half the water and 350 times less energy than conventional fiber pulp.
