Vision
Cellulac is the first company to produce 99%+ optically pure L(+) and D(-) Lactic Acid for high heat resistance and strong PLA Bioplastics from a variety of second generation feedstocks that do not have a negative effect on human or animal food.
One Million Metric Tonnes (1,000,000 MT) of Lactic Acid
The Cellulac solution to human over-reliance on petrochemical plastics has been to acquire, develop and collaboration to create a;
- Low cost of sustainable sugars
- Significantly reduced cost of energy consumption in production
- Price parity with petrochemical plastics
- Flexibility for multiple 2nd generation feedstocks
- End-to-End Solution, design, enzymes, bacteria, processing
- Defined route to market
- Defined roadmap to 1,000,000 tonnes of biochemical raw materials
- Defined proven scaleable production processes
- Production sites close to raw materials
- Partners in the entire farm to finished consumer products
- Partners in further development
Multiple 2nd Generation Raw Materials
- The world whey production is over 160 million tonnes per year (estimated as 9-fold the cheese production), showing a 1–2% annual growth rate
Lactose whey
Lignocellulosic Biomass
- Wheat straw
- Spent brewery grains from beer production
- Dried distilled grains from ethanol production
Core Biochemicals
Lactic Acid, PolyLactic Acid, Ethyl Lactate and Sodium Lactate.
Cellulac has pioneered a refining process that addresses key needs around raw materials, use of energy and use of land to generate high purity D and L LA, Sodium Lactate and Ethyl Lactate.
Because Cellulac’s technology exposes the molecular structure of its raw material that can be ‘mined’ with proprietary enzymes and patented bacteria, it is a platform technology that will be used in the manufacture of a number of other chemicals.
Strategy
To deploy our platform technology at existing fermentation sites either directly, through collaboration, joint ventures or licensing.
