New Iridium has been selected as one of the top four finalists for the Radicle Corn Challenge! We will be pitching our innovative technology at the event on October 22, 2024, in San Francisco. Our groundbreaking process converts corn ethanol into bio-based acetic acid—a critical building block in consumer products like footwear, paint, and adhesives. Acetic acid ranks among the top 10 highest-volume organic chemicals, and we are proud to be driving the transition towards sustainable, bio-based materials. I would like to thank Alex Buck, Ph.D., Nick Colglazier, Iowa Corn and other corn associations for your ongoing support! https://lnkd.in/g5jVU3J5
