VERDE Nanomaterials
VERDE Nanomaterials is producing affordable cellulose nanofibers from waste feedstocks to enable sustainable materials in the circular bioeconomy. Cellulose nanofibers are high-value biomaterials with extraordinary properties that can enhance products in a wide range of applications, from low-volume (cosmetics, electronics, filtration, sensors) to high-volume (packaging, plastic, composites, cement). Thus, cellulose nanofibers bring a sustainable solution for high-performance and biodegradable technologies across various market applications. Using green chemistry principles to convert low-cost renewable feedstocks into nano-sized fibrils, VERDE Nanomaterials aims to replace petroleum-based materials in various materials and help develop a more sustainable economy.
