plant waste is the new Crude.
Hyfé turns plant waste into chemicals that allow the world to make products without petroleum.
REfining, Refined.
Think about us as an oil refinery, but for plant waste, not crude oil.
Petrochemicals emit 7% of global emissions. We can displace them if bio-based alternatives achieve price parity. For this to happen, input costs need to drop. Sugar, a key input for bio-based alternatives, can alone account for as much as 90% of biomanufacturers’ operating costs and the cost of sugar is projected to keep going up.
Enter Hyfé: We refine plant waste to create the cheapest (lowest carbon intensity) sugar, which enables cost-competitiveness with petrochemicals.
We can do this because we pull out and sell other high value products from the plants too, leaving no waste behind.
