Naturally Advanced Technologies and Crailar
Naturally Advanced Technologies Incorporated (NAT) is dedicated to showing the full potential of recyclable, as well as environmentally sustainable, biomass resources from hemp and any other bast fibers.
By means of the company’s solely-owned subsidiary called Crailar Fiber Technologies Inc, and in partnership with the Alberta Research Council and the National Research Council in Canada, NAT is forming a proprietary technology that processes bast fibers. Such fibers include cellulose pulp, hemp and flax. Its subsidiary Crailar technology provides a commercial and ecologically sustainable processing assistance intended to produce goods with better performance features appropriate to the energy, textile, composite materials as well as auto, aerospace and marine industries.
Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc, which was formed in 1998, holds a “triple bottom line” principle that respects employee rights, investor fiscal responsibility and the environmental results of the operations of the company.
NAT’s main strategy is to advance Crailar technology divisions, which incorporate proprietary biotechnology with the latest industry practice and to promote such divisions with the top tactical collaborators. Made from bast fibers, Crailar technologies are from rich, ecologically sustainable recyclable resources. Such technologies have economically useful and performance-based solutions to water and pesticide concentrated feedstocks and even petrochemical made feedstocks suitable for industries like pulp and paper, textiles, biofuels, bioplastics, composite and medical materials.
Here are Crailar’s products:
- Advanced Materials. A green cellulosic pulp that utilizes residual fiber from the hempseed crop and is made to develop the best absorbent paper and yarns.
- Organic Fibers. An F-series legacy technology that serves as a substitute to organic cotton.
- BioFuels. A cellulosic ethanol that is made from residual fiber and a biodiesel from hempseeds. It is also a sustainable recyclable fuel.
- Agriculture. A genetics program optimizing land and crop management. It likewise provides solid variety of hemp that can be grown organically.
