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

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

The bast crops for the planet

Regenerative agriculture

  • sero™ fibre crops grow well under reduced and no-till systems. This has been shown to prevent soil erosion and protect soil organic content.
  • Hemp requires less fertilizer, irrigation, and pesticides than many conventional crops.
  • Hemp can break the cycle of diseases when used in rotation with established crops.

Biodiversity

  • Encourages a healthy and diverse microbiome.
  • The retting process in the harvest of bast fibres stimulates microbial activity, returns nutrients to the soil, and increases soil organic carbon content.
  • Shown to support pollinators, such as bees. Hemp produces large amounts of pollen late in the season when supplies are typically decreasing.

Decarbonization

  • Bast plants are some of the world’s most efficient CO2-to-biomass converters. For example, hemp has been shown to sequester 9-15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare within a 100 day growth cycle.

Socioeconomic

  • High land use efficiency.
  • Annual harvest mitigates grower risk and revitalizes local agricultural communities.
  • Whole-plant utilization reduces waste while maximizing and diversifying economic returns.
