Cellulose nanofibers from plant waste

Transforms plant waste into advanced cellulose nanofibers for sustainable and high-performance materials in the circular bioeconomy. VERDE aims to produce cost-competitive advanced biomaterials with a wide range of applications, from low-volume (cosmetics, electronics, filtration, sensors) to high-volume (packaging, plastic, composites, cement)  that improve product performance as well as environmental footprint.

Utilizing undervalued waste feedstocks, such as agricultural residues and industrial hemp, the company’s conversion technology employs a proprietary chemical-mechanical process that operates under mild conditions and is tunable to specific customer needs while avoiding the use of toxic chemicals.
