Strong ingredients are key to better, cleaner products
We don’t sell cake to the baker; we license blue prints for creating the flour. Our conversion technology is the bridge between plant material and biobased products. Cellulosic sugars are the building blocks locked inside of plant material that our customers require to reduce dependence on a scarce supply of, and volatile markets for, fossil fuels.
Global growth and development puts further strains on a diminishing supply of oil and finite food sources. As the world around us industrializes, the need for alternative feedstocks to produce renewable biochemicals and biofuels is very real. Our customers can produce an array of products, that suit market specific needs. Cellulosic sugars can be transformed into paints and perfumes, detergents and textiles, packaging and plastics, and more.
Today these products primarily rely on petroleum-based ingredients, which are subject to extraordinary price fluctuations, occasional supply shortage situations, and create negative environmental effects. Alternatively, these ingredients are processed from global food supplies, like corn, sugar cane, and soy. Instead, by making these products from the renewable non-food inputs Renmatix technology thrives on - our customers and their customers reduce price volatility, avoid supply shortages and reduce their environmental footprint.
| Renmatix Attribute | Real Benefit |

| Flexible output | Sugars, key biomaterial intermediate |
| No significant consumables | Low Opex |
| Fast reactions | Small footprint, lower Capex |
| Attractive yield conversions | Industry leading economics |
Our technology is biomass agnostic. While initial production facilities will utilize woody material as inputs, the initial step in Renmatix’s Plantrose™ Process is already being adapted to incorporate alternate inputs like corn cobs and stover, miscanthus, switch grass, bagasse, and even cellulosic containing municipal solid waste. This adaptability will help us to install and replicate Renmatix licensed facilities in other regions and countries, or co-locate on existing partner sites, utilizing the locally available feedstocks that limit transportation costs for both process inputs and product outputs. This flexibility allows Renmatix’s technology to open the door to future markets for partners to serve billions of dollars of demand nationally, and trillions globally.
