Company Summary

We work with customers to create supply chain technologies for sustainable packaging in the food and beverage industries, ethanol, butanol and biojet producers who want to utilize cellulosic feedstocks, and companies who want to turn waste problems into sustainable GHG-reducing solutions. Our cellulosic technology can produce sugars from a wide range of nonfood feedstocks: MSW, forest residues, or waste biomass from fruits, palm and coffee beans.
