Barracuda Technologies launches its first modular bio-refinery project, Maiden Modular, in India, employing a proprietary biomass fractionation process to convert agricultural waste — including rice straw, wheat straw, banana stems, hemp and more — into valuable materials like clean lignin, cellulose, bio-silica and hemicellulose. Speaking about the commercial applications of the company’s molded fiber products, Navin Singhania, CEO and founder of Barracuda Technologies, tells Personal Care Insights: “Our biodegradable packaging will also be very useful for the cosmetic industry.”
