The beginning of the road
The ECOR technology was first developed in partnership with the United State's Department of Agriculture, as part of a decade long program by the Forest Products Lab, to create a high-performance building material from cellulose waste fiber that was free of any toxic binding agents and offered the potential to substantially increase the types of waste recycled from urban, farm and forest sources.
