FiberX is both an agribusiness and a biochemical products company. It is seizing on the opportunity to upcycle corn stover, the world's largest agricultural by-product, into novel feedstocks for numerous segments of the chemical, plastics and molded pulp packaging products industry, significantly reducing or eliminating the use of non-renewable resources such as petroleum and wood chips.
The company has successfully automated the processing of corn stover into microfibers that have been combined with synthetic and organic plastics polymers to make biocomposite plastics, universally making them twice as strong and rigid, reducing polymer shrinkage and cost, displacing up to 30% of synthetic polymers, and increasing biopolymer production yield. These same fibers are also a sustainable replacement for pulp from paper and wood chips, as well as replacing plastic products.
Utilizing novel technology developed by Purdue University, FiberX is turning corn stover lignin into a new sustainable feedstock for the chemical products industry. By extracting and depolymerizing lignin, FiberX is creating "tuneable" lignin that can be used to make resins, adhesives, coatings, and a host of other products, all from a sustainable and novel feedstock. Along the way, FiberX also produces valuable forms of cellulose and hemicellulose.
