Common Uses
Rice hulls, a recycled resource, have many current and potential uses. Rice hulls are used as a fiber source, premix, and pellet binder in the animal feed industry. Rice hulls are currently used in composite materials as fiber in injection molding and extrusion processes. Rice hulls have been used as a carrier and extender for other products as well. Additionally, rice hulls are a great substitute for products containing wood fiber, wood flour, or wood shavings.
