FERNWOOD, Miss., January 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Modern Mill, a manufacturer of sustainable building materials, has been recognized in the Transformative Products category of the 2025 Business Intelligence Group Innovation Awards for its groundbreaking product ACRE. The product has received recognition for solving critical challenges faced by builders, homeowners and the environment.
Made from recycled rice husks, ACRE is a tree-free and recyclable material available for a variety of applications including siding, trim, decking and woodwork. ACRE combines the durability of modern composite materials with the aesthetic beauty of fine tropical woods – a gap that other materials have found difficult to fill without compromise.
In addition to performance, ACRE also develops new ways in which building materials can have a positive impact on the environment. A practical replacement for nearly every non-structural use of wood, ACRE helps preserve mature trees, reduce carbon emissions, and keep rice husks out of landfills.
“When Modern Mill first launched ACRE in 2020, we recognized there was a need in the construction industry for a solution that meets the needs of people and the planet,” he said Kim GuimondCMO at Modern Mill. “We are excited to continue to innovate with expanded ACRE profiles, color customizations and even greater environmental impact.”
The Business Intelligence Group Innovation Awards honor organizations and products that address real-world challenges with innovative solutions. As the most innovative product in the Transformative Products category, ACRE is recognized as one of the top solutions that deliver innovation and advancement across industries.
