Renewable Chemicals Corp.
Renewable Chemicals Corporation, (RCC) produces plastics from renewable resources as an alternative to petroleum or petrochemicals. RCC applies intellectual property and proprietary engineering systems customized to the specific sustainability and pricing requirements of the consumer packaging and polymer material industries.
Cosan SA, based in Brazil and one of the world’s largest sugarcane processors, is our feedstock provider and joint venture projects partner. Sugarcane is considered the most efficient renewable resource and when compared to corn; has an energy balance 7 times greater, does not rely on a competing food source, yields more than twice as much energy per acre, and has 3 times greater reduction in greenhouse gas carbon emmisions.
This is accomplished through the ALCHEMx Renewable Production Platform™ which integrates technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and distribution with our supply chain partners to provide an alternative energy and sustainable economic advantage in the chemical industry.
