At FiberX, corn stover is the raw material for a new generation of industrial feedstocks. We're processing it into high-performance fiber that can replace up to 50% of petroleum-based polypropylene in plastic components — while actually increasing strength and reducing costs for manufacturers. And that's just the beginning. Our lignin biorefinery platform, developed in partnership with Purdue University's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, is unlocking an even bigger opportunity: bio-based resins, coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemicals derived from what used to be left on the ground. In the podcast, I talk through how this whole thing started, what it takes to build a supply chain from scratch in the middle of farm country, and why I believe FiberX is sitting at the beginning of something genuinely big — a new industry for Indiana.
