Upcycling nature

Modular, plasma-based biorefineries for forest-free cellulose.

Nanoweave deploys modular, plasma-based biorefineries that convert agricultural waste into high-purity cellulose and regenerative fertilizer without chemicals, deforestation, or centralized pulp mills.

Plasma + cavitation

Selective delignification with no harsh chemistry.

  • On-site modular biorefineries
  • Feedstocks: palm EFB, pineapple stubble, sugarcane, algae and more
  • Cellulose pulp + regenerative fertilizer

The Problem

The problem with cellulose

440+ million tons per year still depend on forest, while agricultural residues are burned or left to rot, emitting CO2 and methane. The result: deforestation, fragile supply chains, and a miss opportunity.

Wood dependence

Today the cellulose industry relies heavily on eucalyptus plantations in the Amazon, driving habitat destruction while locking chains into volatile and unsustainable cost structures.

Centralized mills

Because fast-rotation eucalyptus plantations are often harvested every 5–10 years, sustaining current pulp mill output likely involves the annual harvest of hundreds of thousands of hectares of fiber plantations globally.

Wasted residues

Burned or decomposing biomass emits CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, destroying both climate value and material value in a single step.

Nanoweave's Solution

Decentralized biorefineries for cellulose production, engineered for scale.

Nanoweave transforms low-value agricultural residues into industrial-grade cellulose pulp using a patent-pending plasma-assisted process.

No kraft chemicals

Plasma-assisted pretreatment replaces harsh chemical pulping, no sulphur no chlorine.

Modular and deployable

Containerized units install on-site at agri-processors. We close the loop between waste and value.

Electric by design

Runs on electricity, compatible with renewable inputs. Solar and wind power support the process.

Co-product fertilizer

Nanoweave produces a regenerative fertilizer that returns nutrients to the soil while fixing nitrogen from air, reducing dependence on fossil-fuel-based Haber-Bosch fertilizers.

Franchise scaling

Standardized modules enable rapid replication. Different feedstocks and applications can be supported in modular configurations.

How It Works

Simple four-step process.

01

Biomass is collected close to the farm

We eliminate the biggest barrier to biomass utilization—transportation and logistics by processing residues directly at the source.

02

Plasma-assisted delignification

Selective depolymerization of lignin using our plasma process. We process the cellulose with only water and air. Our byproduct is a nitrogen and carbon rich fertilizer.

03

Cellulose blending

Because we preserve the natural properties of cellulose we can extract and blend it from different sources, making a wide range of pulp grades for different applications.

04

On site fertilizer return

Nitrogen- and carbon-rich fertilizer returned to farms. keep soil healthy and productive. With lower cost for farmers

Products

Cellulose and regenerative fertilizer.

Cellulose pulp

Applications include hygiene, packaging, and textile feedstock.

  • Hygiene and tissue
  • Packaging and molded fiber
  • Textile feedstock
  • Tunable via blending and specs

Regenerative fertilizer

Organic nitrogen and carbon reduce synthetic fertilizer use.

  • Improves soil health and yields
  • Returns nutrients to farms
  • Supports circular agriculture

(Nanocellulose and functional fibers in R&D pipeline.)

Business Model

Biomass as a platform.

Agri-processors host and operate Nanoweave units. We license the technology, provide process control, and guarantee cellulose offtake at a floor price.

Franchise model

Distributed manufacturing with centralized sales.

Low CAPEX

Modular units avoid the cost of full-scale pulp mills.

Zero feedstock cost

Waste biomass becomes revenue for partners.

Predictable margins

Floor-price offtake agreements reduce volatility.

Impact

Circular & sustainable by definition.

Forest-free cellulose

Avoided deforestation with residue-based feedstocks.

Lower emissions

Reduced CO2 from avoided burning and fertilizer displacement.

Water savings

Water use dramatically lower than kraft pulp.

Rural value

New revenue streams for agricultural partners.

Traction

Momentum across R&D and pilots.

Funding

Pre-seed raised (~$580k).

IP

US provisional patent and PCT filed.

Pilots

Demo and pilot projects in Costa Rica and Colombia.

Commercial pull

LOIs across biomass supply and cellulose offtake.

Collaborations

Active R&D with global CPG, packaging, and materials companies.
