sero™ is designed to meet the rigorous technical standards required by commercial fabric manufacturing. It is a plug-and-play replacement for synthetic fibre, made from a highly efficient renewable agricultural crop that is one of the best natural sources of fibre.

sero™ natural hemp fibre enables manufacturers to create consumer products with a circular, soil-to-soil lifecycle.

Decarbonization

  • One of the worlds most efficient CO2 to biomass converters, sequestering 9-15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare within a 100 day growth cycle.

Biodiversity

  • Produces large amounts of pollen, making it highly beneficial to pollinators.
  • Provides shelter for birds and seeds that are food for animals.
  • Improves soil health, encouraging a healthy and diverse biome.

Regenerative Agriculture

  • Breaks the cycle of diseases when used in crop rotation.
  • Dense leaves create soil cover, reducing water loss and protecting against soil erosion.
  • Heavy shade stifles weeds, preventing the need for excessive pesticides.

Socioeconomic

  • Shown to increase yield of subsequent rotational crops.
  • High land use efficiency.
  • Ideal for adding into existing crop rotations.
  • Grows with minimal inputs in most climatic regions.
  • Annual harvest mitigates grower risk and revitalizes local agricultural communities.
