INSIDE SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

Pioneering Transformation in the Agribusiness and Biochemical Industries

The shift toward sustainable products manufacturing is no longer just an environmental nice-to-have—it's becoming a business imperative. At the center of this transformation is an unexpected hero: lignin, the natural polymer that gives plants their structural strength. According to new market research, the global lignin-based resins market reached $512 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at 5.28% annually through 2030, reaching nearly $700 million.

In America's heartland, the story of innovation often begins in the cornfield. After the harvest, what remains – those stalks, leaves, husks, and cobs collectively known as corn stover – has traditionally been viewed as a production leftover. But at FiberX, we see something different: we see potential.

Record Corn Yields Create New Opportunities for Sustainable Agriculture

FiberX has been awarded a research grant from the Indiana Corn Marketing Council to develop sustainable corn stover harvesting best practices. The project, in partnership with Purdue University, will study how different levels of stover removal affect soil health and crop yields, while examining the integration of cover crops. The research will establish multiple test sites across Indiana and be guided by a diverse advisory council of agricultural experts. This collaborative effort aims to create evidence-based guidelines that help farmers generate new revenue from stover harvesting while protecting their soil's long-term health, positioning Indiana as a leader in sustainable biomass production.
