VISION
Enabling a resilient society through Earth’s renewable carbon sources.
MISSION
Driving transformation of circular feedstock systems and bioproducts by leveraging our expertise and regional strengths in forests and plant-based resources, fostering interdisciplinary research and education, cultivating economic security and developing the next generation of innovators.
Bioprocessing
At RBI, bioprocessing is defined as the chemical, biological or mechanical processing of forest biomass into value-added products. It includes the development of sustainable manufacturing processes to produce new value-added products from forest biomass. Our researchers are particularly interested in addressing the fundamental and manufacturing challenges for future high-margin or high-volume products from bioresouces.
Bioproducts
Bioproducts research at RBI builds on decades of experience collaborating with pulp and paper manufacturers – extending today into a broad array of industries interested in creating value from forest and agricultural materials. The spectrum of bioproducts research at RBI spans operational excellence of existing pulp and paper manufacturing assets to creating new products. RBI is helping companies become more efficient and cost-effective in their operations – and develop value-added products for the future.
