EcoSynthetix Inc. applies
intelligent design to renewable resources to create
high-performance biobased products. Our products provide
an enhanced performance window, cost benefits and an
improved environmental footprint when compared to the
products they replace.
For example, EcoSphere® is
a biopolymer derived from the fundemental re-engineering
of renewable resources ("new" carbon)
into biopolymer nanoparticles. EcoSphere® biolatex
products hav e been designed to have a positive impact
on the environment. They provide novel binders with
a neutral carbon footprint for the paper manufacturer.
Petroleum-based SB and SA Latex binders, in contrast,
contain only "old" carbon. For every 1 million
lbs. of SB and SA Latex substituted by EcoSphere® biolatex,
this intrinsically offers a reduction of 3.3 million
pounds (1,515 metric tons) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions. This provides the equivalent of eliminating
CO2 emissions of approximately 400 cars. A 37.5% industry
wide substitution level would reduce CO2 emissions
by 2.27 million metric tons equating to 600,000 cars
off the road.
EcoSynthetix is the
recipient of national and international grants and
subsidies, including USDA SBIR grants and an NIH grant
for our innovative biobased technologies.
