Xylitol is a natural sweetener which can replace sugar in a variety of consumer products such as chewing gum and confectionary, where it helps to protect children’s teeth. EcoXyl, a highly efficient biomanufacturing process, offers a disruptive solution into this large and evolving market
Investors
ARCITEKBio is a cleantech business who’s bio-manufacturing platform allows C5 sugar waste/processed streams to be converted into xylitol: the world’s leading sugar substitute with an estimated $1.4bn market. In 2019 we successfully won Innovate UK funding and are now moving onto our first private equity seed round. If you are interested in cleantech, a sustainable low carbon footprint biotechnology, synthetic biology and chemical engineering techno-economics please feel free to contacts us for an initial discussion.
Waste stream producers
Many waste stream producers have to pay disposal costs or at best obtain modest revenues from selling the streams as low value by-products. ARCITEKBio offer a high value chemical alternative and are therefore seeking collaborations leading to joint ventures with waste producers who are keen to maximise revenues and minimise their environmental footprint. We are actively seeking dialogue with paper & pulp manufacturers, brewers, distillers and agricultural waste producers. Please feel free to contact us for an initial discussion.
Xylitol manufacturers
We understand the supply chain, legislative and environmental pressures which current xylitol manufacturers are experiencing from the historical chemical based processes. ARCITEKBio has a biotechnology which is feedstock independent, requires no pre-clean up/detoxification and has competitive yields, purity and techno-economics. Please feel free to contact us for an initial discussion.
Xylitol end-users
We have strong supply chain network for sustainable production of high quality/grade xylitol. However we would love to hear from xylitol end-users about their opinions/interest in xylitol and or our biotechnological xylitol platform.
Creating sweeteners from agricultural waste
A new biotech process for producing Xylitol from waste feedstocks. Like wood and straw.
One of xylitol’s major advantages is that is has no after-taste and this is driving manufacturers to use it in more food and bakery products as well as in the pharma industry.
