Being “tree-free” is a major part of our sustainability story, but the magic really happens in the process itself.
-
Zero waste.
Our patented process is closed loop, meaning >99% of solvent is recaptured and reused. All of our byproducts are captured and used by sustainable manufacturing partners.
-
Less water.
We use 50% less water than traditional pulping processes, and none of that water is wasted.
-
Less energy.
All our efficiencies mean we use up to 90% less energy than traditional processes.

LCA
A preliminary LCA was conducted with support of the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at University of California, Santa Barbara.
Agrilose has half the global warming potential, less than a third the acidification potential, and less than half the eutrophication potential when compared to eucalyptus pulp, the most sustainable option that is widely available today.
