Renmatix,
the leading technology licensor for the conversion of
biomass into cellulosic sugar,
and Virent,
using its patented technology to convert plant-based materials
into a full range of products identical
to those made from petroluem
including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and
chemicals for plastics and fibers,
announce a strategic cooperation to convert
affordable cellulosic sugars into
renewable chemicals and bio-based packaging materials.
Renamatix technology platform will be evaluated and
potentially optimized to provide an affordable sugar stream for
Virent's process for the large-scale production of
bio-based paraxylene.
Virent's bio-based paraxylene product
is chemically identical to paraxylene made from petroleum
and allows manufacturers to offer customers
100 % bio-based PET packaging, fibers and films
