Nanocellulose Provides Cheaper and Sustainable Cellulose Alternative

Although cellulose is a biopolymer that won’t be running out anytime soon, its promise as a sustainable material is restricted because it is a large expense and has a significant footprint.

The manufacture of cellulose in its crystalline form, nanocellulose, can be done faster and at a fraction of the cost, while also having less impact on the environment. This improvement is enabled by CELLiCON’s G2 technology.

From this development, a variety of industrial items such as superglues and clear films may be produced. The innovation also works as a substitute for starch or polystyrene.

According to Daniel Rytz, Head of Strategy and Business Development at Sulzer Chemtech, the move would increase the company’s processing capabilities for bio-based and renewable raw materials.

Daniel Rytz explained that they are “thrilled to support CELLiCON and further drive the global adoption of greener materials produced with sustainable processes.” Their knowledge and expertise in expanding technologies means they are “an ideal partner for innovative companies like CELLiCON.”

“This collaboration is a further step in our strategy to enable circular, eco-conscious manufacturing and processing practices on a global scale.”
