North America’s first large-scale, non-wood pulp mill using wheat straw, not trees, to make high-quality pulp for sustainable packaging, tissue, and molded products. Their proprietary production processes have a number of environmental advantages – significantly lower water, reagent and energy use, enhanced utilization of existing as-residual resources, novel alternative fuels, and creating a carbon positive pathway
