OUR STORY
From agricultural residues to advanced materials.
Zylotex began with a simple question: can abundant agricultural residues become a new source of high-value cellulose?
Today, we are building a Canadian cellulose materials platform that transforms underutilized feedstocks into ZyloPulp®, commercial regenerated fibres and next-generation advanced materials. Our work spans high-performance textiles today, with emerging pathways into hydrophobic, high-strength and carbonizable cellulose materials.
We believe the future of materials starts with making more from what we already have.

OUR MISSION
From fibre to frontier materials.
Zylotex began with a simple question: could underutilized agricultural residues become a new source of high-value cellulose?
Our early work focused on Canadian-grown hemp and the development of regenerated cellulose fibres. That work proved something much bigger: agricultural residues can provide the foundation for a scalable cellulose platform.
Today, Zylotex is developing ZyloPulp®, a high-purity cellulose platform engineered for commercial fibre applications and the next generation of advanced materials.
Working with industry, research and engineering partners, we are advancing the platform from pilot production toward commercial scale while developing new material pathways in high-strength, hydrophobic and carbonizable cellulose-based fibres.
Our vision has grown, but the principle remains the same: take abundant, underutilized biomass and transform it into materials of significantly greater value.
Commercial fibre today. Frontier materials tomorrow.
