NGen funding allowed Titan to scale up an existing technology

The biocarbon input into the bioresin is manufactured in Canada’s first autothermal production unit .

The energy for the process comes entirely from the biomaterial waste input and is a negative emission technology recognized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Creating Biodegradable Meltblown Fabric Raw Material for N95 Masks and HEPA Filters

Highlighting Canada as a global leader in advanced sustainable bioproducts, this project built a 100% Canadian supply of biodegradable melt-blown fabric feedstock for use in masks and filters. This process using a highly advanced biocomposite feedstock (called a masterbatch) developed and owned by Titan, uses 100% Canadian waste biomaterials. The new feedstock replaces the highly polluting fossil-fuel derived resins (such as polypropylene) that are often imported from Asia, Europe and the US. The project has expanded Canada's capacity to manufacture, and supply biodegradable resins, providing a Made-in-Canada supply of melt-blown fabric for N95 masks and HEPA filters.
