Naturally Advanced
Naturally Advanced Technologies is a Vancouver, BC-based cleantech company focused on providing textile, composite and pulping solutions, through the processing of industrial hemp, and other bast fibers. The company states that it believes that using hemp as an alternative to other fibers results in end products which are environmentally friendlier than those currently produced using conventional feedstock. Naturally Advanced is now developing and commercializing its proprietary CRAILAR fiber processing technology in partnership with the National Research Council of Canada and the Alberta Research Council. The CRAILAR process and resulting products and by-products are expected to have applications in apparel, performance textiles, energy, composite materials, and pulp and paper markets.

“The imagination of man is naturally sublime, delighted with whatever is remote and extraordinary, and running, without control, into the most distant parts of space and time in order to avoid the objects, which custom has rendered too familiar to it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
