Building on nearly a century of lignocellulosics research, we are the premier research institute at Georgia Tech for the transformation of biomaterials into new products, including traditional and new forest products, renewable energy, chemicals, advanced materials and pharmaceuticals. Renewable bioproducts are enhancing the portfolios of a range of industries, including automotive, pulp and paper, aerospace, defense and consumer products.

In order to enable companies to seize new opportunities, RBI is creating an innovation ecosystem that brings together education, research, government and industry in unique ways. Our vision is to create and strengthen collaborative partnerships, both internally and externally. This maximizes the impact of our research in real-world applications across the new bioeconomy in wide-ranging bioproducts markets.
