Naturally Advanced Technologies, the leading provider of sustainable, environmentally friendly fibers and fabrics, has developed a groundbreaking biotech enzyme fiber process called CRAILAR in collaboration with Canada's National Research Council and Alberta Research Council.

Slated for an official 2007 launch in the United States, Canada and abroad, Naturally Advanced Technologies intends to license CRAILAR to a variety of industry partners including apparel; medical and hospitality textiles; upholstery; diversified industrials; auto, marine and airplane parts.

Developed to unlock the economic potential of industrial hemp as a sustainable and more versatile alternative fiber to cotton and fiberglass, the result of this quality and conservation based textile technology is a cost effective.

Entirely different type of soft, strong and sustainable fabric that will pave the way for a range of advanced products including clothing, table linens, auto and marine parts and airplane fuselages.

"We firmly believe a responsibility we have been charged with is leaving a positive environmental footprint for future generations," says Ken Barker, CEO, Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc.

"This licensing agreement is the first paramount step in the preservation and protection of our renewable resources by shifting production methods of fibers and composites; significantly reducing the use of pesticides, chemicals, water and energy typically necessary during the growing and manufacturing process."

The introduction of the licensed biotech enzyme process, CRAILAR, exemplifies Naturally Advanced Technologies' unwavering commitment to enhance products and the benefits they provide farmers, consumers and the environment.
