CurrentFiberX is both an agribusiness and a biochemical products company that is upcycling corn stover, the world's largest agricultural by-product, into novel chemical product feedstocks significantly reducing or eliminating the use of petrochemicals. FiberX has automated processing corn stover into microfibers that have been combined with synthetic and organic plastic polymers to make biocomposite plastics. These same fibers can be used as a feedstock for making molded pulp packaging and food products. Using technology developed at Purdue University, FiberX extracts and depolymerizes lignin, creating "tuneable" lignin that can be used as a sustainable and novel feedstock for industrial resins, coatings and adhesives.
