By working with nature instead of against it, we produce and supply renewable materials to sustainable manufacturers around the world.

Our Process

Through the characterization and processing of organic waste, we create renewable alternatives to petroleum-based materials.

01

Organic Waste Collection

We source components for renewable materials from plant and other organic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills and produce greenhouse gasses.

02

Processing

Once collected, the waste is taken to our lab in Seattle, Washington to be sorted, characterized and processed for manufacturing.

03

Feedstocks

The resulting materials are distributed in raw forms to meet the needs of global manufacturing partners and customers.

Our renewable Offerings

Cellulose

The cellulose compounds we produce are the renewable building blocks for paper, bioplastics, films and many more material needs.

Lipids

Lipids are used to produce renewable surfactants for cleaning products, sustainable aviation fuels/biodiesel, and bioplastics.

Chemicals

The chemicals from organic waste become renewable building blocks for pharmaceutical, cleaning, cosmetics and many more industries.
