UNLOCKING VALUE FROM UNUTILIZED AGRICULTURAL RESIDUE
Discover Our Signature Innovations
Flax Fibre
Extracted through our unique process, our flax fibre serves as sustainable pulp, paper, and biomaterials.
Fuel Pellets
Produced from flax straw, our biomass pellets offer a low-carbon, efficient energy source for heat and power.
Animal Bedding
Our animal bedding offers exceptional absorbency and comfort, promoting healthier livestock and easier maintenance.
PCE AGGREGATES & PROCESSES UNUTILIZED AGRICULTURAL RESIDUE
PCE is a solution provider changing the bioeconomy landscape in North America and the world by doing what no one else is doing – harnessing the millions of tonnes of excess agricultural waste on the Canadian and American prairies. PCE’s core business is a rigorous focus on efficiently gathering and processing fibre-rich and energy-dense straw and other sources of organic waste for diverse uses. Our feedstock is technologically and product agnostic and can be a low-carbon input solution for:
Industrial Absorbents
For industrial cleanups and spill remediation
Animal Bedding
Horse, cow, pig, poultry & small animals
Decarbonization
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Flax Fibre Abundancy
Flax is an abundant, secure crop in Canada. Over 750,000 tonnes of flax straw are produced annually on the Canadian prairies. Of all the flax grown worldwide, 40% is produced in Canada. Most of which is grown in the same province as PCE’s head office, Saskatchewan. Unlike other areas around the world, Canadians grow flax for its highly nutritious seeds. The seeds are harvested, but the flax straw is almost always burned in fields as it has no nutritional value and is too fibrous to be tilled back into the soil.
EFFICIENT, CLEAN FIBRE DECORTICATION
In early 2024, our team developed an innovative decortication process. It has two-patents pending. Our ground-breaking process removes the fibre from the shive in the most efficient process on the planet. Our approach uses less energy and takes less time, while producing high quality flax fibre with low shive content. There are no facilities like ours in the world that produce both high-quality flax fibre and flax shive pellets for both bio-materials and bioenergy/biofuels markets.
