From Rice Husks to Rainforest Rescue: The Sustainable Siding Revolution

In a world where eco-friendly options seem to be sprouting up left and right, Modern Mill is shaking things up with their latest invention—ACRE, a siding material made from, wait for it…rice husks! That’s right; those little bits that usually end up in the landfill are now helping to save trees, and it’s about time we gave rice husks the credit they deserve. Imagine having a home that whispers “I’m chic and environmentally friendly” every time someone walks by. Who knew your next home improvement project could save the rainforest?

ACRE boasts the charm of real wood while ensuring that not a single tree has to bite the dust during its creation. With rice husks that boast impressive durability and aesthetic appeal, this material is not just smart; it’s downright gorgeous. Each pallet of ACRE means not only stunning homes but also an acre of tropical rainforest hardwood saved from the chopping block. Talk about making Mother Earth proud! And if you think the price is steep, most projects run between $10 and $12 per square foot. Totally worth saving a forest, right?

And it doesn’t stop there! Modern Mill is also stepping up for communities in crisis—after the tragic Palisades fires in California, they donated siding to families who lost everything. Looks like they’re not just resaving trees but also rebuilding lives. A company with a heart? Now that’s worth celebrating! So, what’s your take? Would you trade traditional wood for a sustainable alternative like ACRE? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
