Harvesting Renewable
Energy from Waste

The future is now.

Fiberight has successfully developed a unique process of converting waste fibers into biofuel.  Fiberight’s technology can efficiently unlock the potential to convert millions of tons of non-recycled municipal solid and industrial wastes into valuable next generation cellulosic ethanol and other key co-products.  Fiberight’s business model facilitates both environmentally sustainable waste management and renewable energy production targets by diverting existing trash streams from traditional landfill disposal into finished biofuel.  Fiberight is one of the first U.S.-based companies to successfully produce biofuel from waste on an industrial scale through finished, fuel test production.

Solving the technology challenges from sorting to conversion.

Fiberight  has combined our deep expertise in the recycling and waste management industries with leading scientific knowledge in biofuel chemistry, to create proprietary conversion processes for turning organic waste fibers into cellulosic ethanol.  Fiberight takes the non-recyclable components of municipal solid and industrial waste and produces biofuel using a highly cost effective biochemical and enzymatic process involving digestion and fermentation. Fiberight has leveraged the best innovations and technology from the waste and biofuel industries for a new integrated approach to solving the challenge of creating a cost-effective, sustainable, and practical biofuel product. Fiberight has successfully addressed the scalability, energy, and non-homogeneous feedstock obstacles that have limited biomass conversion initiatives in the past.  By using non-recycled trash as the input, Fiberight avoids the ”food vs. fuel” debate and infrastructure or  transportation issues associated with other renewable fuel producers who use corn, saw grass or algae as feedstock.

Fiberight’s vision - a green solution that works for communities, consumers and investors.

Fiberight has the potential to unlock the 85 gallons of biofuel contained in every ton of non-recycled trash.  Our technology can be scaled to turn the 170 million tons of excess trash generated each year in the US -- contaminated paper, food wastes, yard discards and other organic degradeables -- into over 10 billion gallons of renewable biofuel that will providing an important source of cellulosic ethanol to meet federal mandates under the EISA Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS2). Oil companies and fuel blenders are required to begin mixing renewable biofuels next year with the mandated volume for cellulosic ethanol increasing from 100 million gallons per year in 2010 to over 16 billion gallons by 2022. Fiberight’s processes also produces co-generation electricity to power it facilities utilizing the plastic and hydrocarbon elements in the waste stream.  Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced over 80% from petroleum alternatives.  Our closed-loop biomass conversion process is both cost efficient and environmentally sensitive. Not only can Fiberight provide a significant waste alternative to landfill or incineration options, our processes offer a means to reduce the country’s dependence upon petroleum based fuel.
