About BioBTX

BioBTX is a pioneering company that specializes in converting non-food biomass and plastic waste into BTX (Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene), which are essential aromatics in the chemical industry. This innovative approach not only addresses the growing demand for BTX but also provides a sustainable alternative to fossil-based resources. By utilizing waste materials, BioBTX significantly reduces CO2 emissions and contributes to a circular economy, where plastics can be recycled and reused, minimizing environmental impact.
