🎉 Great news for Capro-X Inc. to end the week on! 🥂 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technology Office (BETO) just announced their latest SBIR awardees ➡ we're happy to announce that we were awarded a Sustainable Biomass Conversion to Bio-Based Materials project. This award is just the beginning of Capro-X's journey to deliver carbon-negative, biodegradable plastics to the US economy that can lower our reliance on petrochems - and better yet - they're produced using platform chemicals we produce by naturally biorefining byproducts and wastes from our food/ag partners! We're always on the lookout for more industrial partners in the plastics space - if you're searching for sustainable coatings, films, or non-wovens - lets talk! https://lnkd.in/eMcXPYQR
