The first facility to produce nanocrystalline cellulose on a large scale will be in Windsor, Quebec, Canada. FPInnovations and Domtar are partnering to produce and commercialize nonocrystalline cellulose under the name "CelluForce" at Domtar's pulp mill in Windsor. $36 million (including federal and provincial dollars) are being invested into the construction of the plant.
Both the aerospace and automotive industries are interested in nanocrystalline cellulose as an ingredient for lightweight, high-strength composite materials.
It also has other potential - earlier this year, a 16 year old student discovered the cellulose of tree pulp also has anti-aging benefits!
