A huge thank you to Senator King and his staff for visiting the UMaine Process Development Center yesterday. Our team shared some of the innovative research being conducted across UMaine using nanocellulose, many directed at replacing plastics. We had a demonstration of how nanocellulose can be used to extinguish fires and prevent reignition - eliminating the need for PFAS. We are grateful for Senator King’s continued dedication to our research and development to create real forest-based solutions for a vibrant forest economy in Maine. A special thank you to our collaborators and partners James Anderson, Christopher LaCasse from LaCasse & Weston, Inc., and Kris Burton from Tanbark Molded Fiber Products for joining us to showcase their technologies. #UMaine #umaineinnovates #sustainablematerials
