                                Seaweed is a powerful, renewable resource, with some estimates indicating it can constitute between 36% and 60% of its dry matter as functional dietary fiber, depending on the species. Understanding how this translates into textile-grade fiber, however, is a complex process with many variables impacting the final yield and required seaweed quantity.
