Extracting industrial-grade cellulose from pineapple leaf waste using a proprietary low-chemical pulping process. Fiber meets TAPPI standards for brightness, kappa number, and CSF drainage : direct wood pulp substitute for tissue (toilet paper and napkins) and packaging.

Pilot validation partnerships and sponsored research with tissue, hygiene, or packaging manufacturers to test our cellulose fiber against existing wood pulp specs. Open to joint development, co-funded trials, or analytical testing access.
About
Biotechnology engineer and co-founder of CeluNova, a deep tech startup based in Mexico. I hold a peer-reviewed publication on agricultural waste valorization in Bioresource Technology Reports (Elsevier, 2023, 14 citations). I have hands-on experience in pilot-scale cellulose extraction, bioreactor design, experimental design (DOE/ANOVA), and TAPPI analytical testing. CeluNova has validated logistics across 7 farming operations in Mexico’s primary pineapple production region, securing raw material supply of 3M+ tons/year. Current technical validation in progress with NC State University’s Sustainable Agricultural Fibers Institute (SAFI). I translate laboratory science into industrial applications — not theoretical research.
