The Digest’s 2022 Multi-Slide Guide to Hexas Biomass

Hexas is a biomaterials company focused on the production of regenerative, plant-based raw materials that replace wood and fossil fuel-based materials in multiple applications. Applications for these plant-based materials include: energy, chemicals, packaging, textiles, composites, structural/non-structural products, bioremediation, and more.

Hexas has developed a farm-to-fiber platform for the reliable delivery of XanoFiber. They produce this fiber from proprietary varieties of a giant perennial grass; collectively they call these varieties XanoGrass. XanoGrass is perennial, fast growing, yields 25-35 dry tons of biomass per acre year-over-year, is highly pest-resistant, grows in different climates and soil types, tolerates drought, and has low ecological demand. XanoFiber can supplement or replace wood, corn, and fossil fuel-based feedstocks in multiple applications while providing the same or better performance at a lower cost without the need to alter existing manufacturing systems.

Hexas Biomass CEO Wendy Owens presented these slides as part of the Digest Connect series.
