Addressing the global demand for cellulose and environmental concerns, OzBiONY introduces a novel and sustainable solution utilizing agricultural waste, specifically empty fruit bunches (EFB) from palm oil mills. Their innovative process, OzCELL, utilizes ozone gas to fractionate biomass, resulting in high-quality cellulose with minimal waste. The process yields up to 90% recovery of lignin for biochar application and achieves a cellulose recovery rate of 99%. With OzBiONY, the value of EFB increases significantly, benefiting both waste management in palm oil mills and downstream applications, while also supporting Malaysia's circular economy initiatives.
