| Technology Brief |
Fiberight's innovative technology efficiently fractionates the organic components of MSW such as contaminated paper, food wastes, yard discards and other degradables for the production of cellulose and hemicellulose into fuel grade ethanol and other sugar platform biochemicals using enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The plastic fraction and methane collected from Fiberight's processes may also used to create co-generation electricity to power its plant facilities for zero energy input. Fiberight's proprietary extraction, pulping and digestion processes have the potential to unlock over 5 billion gallons of renewable biofuel contained in the 175 million tons of non-recyclable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated each year in the US.
