FDCA Technology

Sustainable, Green Chemistry for a Circular Economy

Our FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid) production technology embodies the future of sustainable materials. By transforming non-edible biomass wastes into valuable building block chemicals, we are pioneering a greener approach to creating high-performance plastics and polyesters that reduce environmental impact.

Opportunity

Consumer plastics demand growing at 3.5% CAGR but the process is highly carbon intensive, made from a finite and volatile petroleum resource, creating endocrine-disrupting chemicals

KSE Solution

Redesign the manufacturing process, using renewable waste feedstocks, catalytically transform biogenic carbon + captured fossil carbon into building block chemicals supplying the plastics value-chain

FDCA has broad application to numerous ester and polyester forms for applications in bottles, containers, plasticizers, textiles, etc.

FDCA and PEF Powering Sustainable Solutions

From eco-friendly packaging to high-performance polyesters, FDCA and PEF are revolutionizing industries with their bio-based, and high-performance properties, offering a greener alternative to traditional materials. FDCA has broad application to numerous ester and polyester forms for applications in bottles, containers, plasticizers, textiles, etc.

Cost Advantage

Derived from biomass wastes instead of expensive, volatile petroleum feedstocks

Decarbonizing

Leveraging circular biogenic sources of carbon from plants and trees coupled with captured waste carbon dioxide

Fully Recyclable

Either standalone or blending with petroleum plastics reducing pollution

Thermo-mechanical Advantages

Higher barrier properties, higher heat resistance for improved packaging material performance

Healthier

Furan-based chemicals have significantly lower endocrine impacts versus petroleum phthalates

USDA Bio-Based Certified

U. S. Department of Agriculture BioPreferred Program designed to increase development,
purchase, and use of biobased resources contributing to reduced adverse environmental and health impacts.
Biobased content determined by independent laboratory measurement
utilizing ASTM D6866 standard methodology and certified by USDA.
