Ulstraw transforms leftover rice straw into clean, useful products: eco fire starters, protective packaging, and biomass pellets made near the fields they come from.
Rice feeds half the world. But after every harvest, straw left standing in the fields is often set on fire, polluting the air and wasting a material that can replace wood and fossil fuel. Ulstraw changes what happens after the harvest.

The straw is dried and sorted near the fields to keep transport light.
