Scaling Sustainable Bioproducts and Circular Solutions
bioNEXT works with stakeholders across the forest bioeconomy sector. We are working to increase the adoption of solutions that lower our carbon footprint and position Canada as a world leader in a low-carbon, global economy.
Our Key Focus Areas:
- Solutions for wildfire mitigation and forest management
- Sustainable packaging and new materials from lignin and nanocellulose
- Textile fibres, wood-based materials and new uses for wood products
- New digital solutions and circular business models
- Biofuels and Renewable Natural Gas
- Naturally derived carbon to replace petroleum products
Our goal is to drive value chain transformation that increases revenue per sustainable yield by 25%.
Innovation in our forest sector through the utilization of residual biomass to replace high-emitting carbon products has the potential to lower Canada’s carbon footprint and become a world leader in a growing, low-carbon, global economy.
