Our Unique Business Model: to Create a Sustainable Bio-Economy
Competitive Green Technologies is a collaboration between the end-customers, moulders, farmers and the University. We all get on the same page – have One UNDERSANDING or as they say in German - EINVERSTANDEN – at the very beginning of any end-user-centric development
This affords us the ability to iterate very quickly to ensure application needs are met with our bio-composite resins. The University of Guelph plays a key role in this iterative development. We have used this approach successfully in commercializing bio-composite resins in an efficient and timely manner – from idea to in the market / on store shelves in well under two years and often in less than a year.

We work with a hybrid combination of biomass like switchgrass, miscanthus, soya hull, oat hull, DDG, coffee chaff, etc. This ensures a supply base that mitigates supply chain risks and is geography agnostic.
Our unique biomass technology is transferable to different crops and geographies worldwide. Below is just a small sample of the possible biomass that could be used in our processes: from wheat to soy, corn to switchgrass to coconut.

From Biomass to Bio-Resins
Our 52 million pounds/year compounding plant is actually located on a farm; leveraging the ability of dealing with formatting of a vast variety of biomass very efficiently as is key for bio-composite resins. In 2018, our annual capacity will be expanded to 75 million pounds.
As we meet the needs of customers world-wide, we will be looking out for joint venture / acquisition opportunities to expand our manufacturing footprint for serving local customers with local compounding capability using local biomass supply chains. This is facilitated by us having characterized and hybridized several different biomass varieties from all over the world.

From biomass to bio-resins - and into compostable coffee pods!
