Sustainable
Grass pulp is SUSTAINABLE for many reasons. It is abundant (readily available through communities) and characterized by rapid growth. As mentioned above, this will reduce transportation pollution and third-party costs. Processing trees requires a lot of more electrical energy and chemical use which results in extreme pollution wastes. This is costly and harms the environment. Essentially, grass offers us the exciting opportunity for a closed-loop supply chain in meaningful ways like restoring the planet and providing for the community. We can take grass from our community and give back in consumable paper product forms, embracing the "circle of life" concept.
​
Domestic
Grass provides DOMESTIC benefits. Accessibility to grass reduces, and may eliminate, the need to import raw materials nationally and internationally. Best yet, we can create job opportunities within the United States, an area where the U.S. economy is experiencing growing losses.
​
Flexible
Our grass fiber is FLEXIBLE; it can be made into a wide range of paper products. To kickoff our project, we decided to focus production on napkins, toilet papers, and wrapping tissue. These items will help amend shortages as a result of the pandemic and tackle existing environmental problems like plastic and landfill wastes.
