M2D® Binder Technology

A revolutionary plant-based binding system that enables particle agglomeration without synthetic polymers or toxic additives.

What is M2D®?

M2D® (Made to Degrade) is our patented bioresin formulation technology that harnesses natural plant materials to create high-performance binding agents. Unlike conventional synthetic binders, M2D® is derived entirely from renewable sources and biodegrades completely at end-of-life.

The technology enables efficient pelletization of diverse feedstocks—from biochar and biomass to animal feed and agricultural amendments—without compromising durability or performance.

Biochar Innovation

Advanced Biochar Pelletization Technology

Transforming biochar powder into high-performance pellets that maximize carbon sequestration, improve handling, and unlock tri-market value.

The Industry Challenge

Traditional biochar exists as a fine powder, creating significant barriers to commercialization:

  • Dust Issues: Fine particles create health hazards and loss during handling
  • Low Density: High transportation costs and storage inefficiency
  • Application Difficulty: Uniform distribution is nearly impossible
  • Synthetic Binders: Existing pellets use non-compostable additives

Our Solution

M2D® binder technology enables biochar pelletization with superior performance:

  • Dust-Free Handling: Durable pellets eliminate respiratory concerns
  • 3-4x Density: Dramatically reduced shipping and storage costs
  • Precision Application: Compatible with standard spreaders and equipment
  • 100% Compostable: Plant-based binder maintains biochar benefits
