The Hurd Co makes agrilose®, a 100% agriwaste-based feedstock pulp used by apparel brands to make fabrics like viscose/rayon and lyocell, which are normally made from trees. Today, over 300 million trees are logged every year to produce pulp for the apparel industry. In addition to being tree-free, The Hurd Co\'s patented technology is dramatically more sustainable: the zero emission process uses 50% less water and 90% less energy than conventional pulping processes. Agrilose is a one-to-one replacement for tree pulp and will be available at a cost-competitive price, making it an easy substitute for manufacturers and an easy choice for brands.The Hurd Co is a Fashion for Good Accelerator Program company. Finalist in the 2024SXSW Innovation Awards. Proud alumna company of LACI Innovators, UCLA AndersonVenture Accelerator, and Berkeley SkyDeck.
