Over a billion tonnes of plant, agricultural and wood waste are discarded or burnt yearly worldwide. Lixea believes it is time to switch to a bio-based economy, which is why the company has developed a technology that turns agricultural and wood waste into profitable, sustainable materials and fuels.
The Dendronic® Process is Lixea’s first technology innovation. It uses waste wood, agricultural by-products and sustainably grown biomass to produce a greener alternative to today’s petrochemical industry, while giving unwanted waste materials a purpose.
From a range of biogenic waste, The Dendronic® Process can produce starting materials for the energy, biochemical, biomaterials and food industries. From Lixea’s produced materials, the target product range includes cellulosic fuels, performance chemicals, moulded fibres for packaging, phenolic resins, glues, adhesives, and bitumen substitutes.
