The NEW Natural Fiber
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
What is Agraloop?
The Agraloop™ refines natural fibers derived from agricultural crops into textile-grade fiber called Agraloop™ BioFibre™. A NEW Natural Fiber mindfully sourced for circularity.
With our specialized wet processing technique, cellulose fiber from stems and leaves are purified into soft fiber bundles ready to spin into yarns. The Agraloop processes left-overs from various food and medicine crops including, oilseed hemp/flax, CBD hemp, banana, and pineapple.

BioFibre™ Fashion Products
Agraloop debuted at the 2019 Global Change Awards in an elegant hemp BioFibre/silk gown designed by &Other Stories. Soon after, in H&M's Conscious Exclusive A/W '20 "Wear the Waste" Collection, the rest is the start of history in the making.
Agraloop™ Products & Services
BioFibre™ Staple Fiber
Agraloop BioFibre is refined into staple fiber that can run in existing open-end and ring yarn spinning systems. Unlike man-made cellulosic fiber, Agraloop BioFibre is a highly refined 100% natural fiber made from agricultural crop stems and leaves. Our BioFibre is produced using two specialized processes called DryRefined, which is a waterless process, and Refined+.
BioFibre™ Yarn
We blend our Agraloop BioFibre with other natural staple fibers to produce a range of ring-spun and open-end yarns blended with Texloop RCOT™ (Recycled Cotton), organic cotton, and TENCEL Lyocell™. Product applications include knit and woven textiles for clothing, footwear, accessories, and durable home goods.
BioFibre™ Fabric
Like most people, we believe the world needs more natural fiber products. Agraloop BioFibre produces high-quality knit and woven fabrics for clothing and accessories. Agraloop BioFibre fabric applications range from classic jerseys and fleece to elegant luxury materials to durable heavy-weight denim and canvas wovens with inherent natural fiber performance properties.
License Agraloop™ Technology
Our mission to kick off a bio-industrial economy and regenerate our habitat can only be achieved at a significant scale through global collaboration. The Agraloop™ future BioRefinery is modular, low-CAPEX, and designed to be deployed globally to serve local communities and industries. We welcome international brands, manufacturers, farmers, NGOs, and other interested collaborators to inquire and learn more about how you can be a part of the solution.

vs Conventional Hemp, Linen, & Cotton
Agraloop LCA by SCS Global compared to HIGG Index data for conventional hemp, linen, and cotton.
* The HIGG Index assesses cotton fiber processing impacts up to and including the ginning process. Subsequent carding and combing processes in preparation for spinning are not accounted here yet.
Agraloop BioFibre processing impact data includes carding and combing in the fiber processing step where it is not included in cotton processing.

Waste is a huge problem
Crop residues are abundant, far too much to compost effectively. This waste is all too often left to rot or burned, creating methane pollution, crop disease, and air pollution that contributes to more than 250,000 deaths per year.
200+ Million Tons
of Banana waste alone, is left to rot annually
20+ Million Acres
of rice straw are burned in India every year
1+ Million Acres
of oilseed flax and oilseed hemp residues are burned in North America alone.
We look at these crop left-overs as valuable resources
Waste = Abundant Fiber Resources. Six crops alone offer more than 250M tons of fiber per year - more than the current global fiber demand.

Cane Bagasse

Agraloop™ is turning problem into solution
Waste = Abundant Fiber Resources. The Agraloop™ is converting left-overs into high-value natural fiber for the fashion industry.
Why Agraloop BioFibre?
Crops grown for food and medicine such as oilseed hemp. CBD hemp and oilseed flax produce millions of tons of residue after they are harvested. Agraloop optimizes the value of these leftovers by upgrading it into textile grade fiber.
Oilseed & CBD Hemp
Oilseed Flax
The Agraloop has two specialized techniques for refining crop leftovers into BioFibre, DryRefined BioFibre and Refined+ BioFibre.
DryRefined BioFibre is refined with a waterless process, and Refined+ BioFibre is refined with our proprietary wet plus dry technique.
