Our Impact on the World

Immediate broad scaling of our technologies and products will significantly increase the replacement of talc, glass fibre, and oil/gas derived manufacturing material with carbon sequestering plant materials and thereby help to preserve the natural world and reduce carbon emissions. 


End-users will be able to simultaneously increase their profits, and the desirability of their products.  


A new cash crop for farmers in North America, and increased profits for European and Asian farmers. 


Consumers globally will benefit from the availability of higher performance, lower cost, more sustainable products.
