About the company Sonichem, a pioneering sustainable technology company, stands at the forefront of the green chemistry revolution. Founded with the vision to transform the way the world views and utilises forestry and agricultural by-products, Sonichem has developed a groundbreaking ultrasonic biorefinery process. This innovative technology efficiently breaks down woody biomass, such as sawdust from softwoods, into high-value, bio-based chemicals lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose sugars. Unlike traditional biorefining methods that rely on energy-intensive and environmentally detrimental processes, Sonichem’s approach is clean, low-energy, and produces minimal waste.
By leveraging powerful ultrasonic waves, the process extracts pure, low molecular weight lignin and other valuable bio-based chemicals without the need for harsh chemicals or extreme conditions. This not only ensures a lower carbon footprint but also unlocks the potential for these bio-based chemicals to replace petrochemicals in a wide array of products, from resins and bioplastics to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
