ARX is a sustainability-driven company focused on unlocking the value of agricultural residues such as wheat straw, rice husk and cotton straw. Instead of being dumped or burned, these materials can be transformed into biofuels, bioplastics, chemicals, and even sustainable materials.

We envision a future where farmers fuel industries with residues, reducing waste, cutting emissions, and creating shared prosperity for farmers, businesses, and the planet.

We have built a global ecosystem of companies across Europe, Asia, and Australia. ARX brings together farmers, green-tech companies, research institutes, universities, and supply chain partners to collaborate, share knowledge, and apply technologies that transform residues into valuable products.

Our approach is to:
• Identify and promote practical applications for agricultural residues across industries.
• Enable collaborations between suppliers, innovators, and logistics providers.
• Support businesses that use residues through tailored services.

Through this ecosystem, you can transform residues into opportunities that drive innovation, sustainability, and shared prosperity for all.

Becoming part of ARX is simple. Whether you're a company, startup, researcher, or domain expert, you can join our growing ecosystem by registering on the platform or reaching out through our contact form.

Once connected, our team will support you based on your goals whether you're looking to collaborate, source or supply residues, drive innovation, or scale your sustainability efforts.

We’re already working with businesses across Europe, Asia, and Australia. As a member of the ARX network, you’ll gain access to a curated ecosystem of partners and tailored business services designed to help you grow.

No, becoming a member of ARX is completely free. We aim to build an open ecosystem where businesses can connect and collaborate without barriers.

We only charge for our tailored business services, which are designed to support companies that actively use agricultural residues. These optional services include consulting, technology support, partnership facilitation, fundraising support and business development to scale businesses.

Agricultural residues are the by-products left behind after crops are harvested or processed. They include materials such as straw, husk, stalks, corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, and other plant remains. Traditionally, these residues are often discarded or burned, which contributes to waste and air pollution.

These by-products hold enormous potential as renewable resources. Agricultural residues can be converted into biofuels, bioplastics, chemicals, dietary fibers, animal feed, and sustainable materials such as paper, packaging, panels, and construction composites. Using them in this way supports a circular economy that reduces waste, benefits farmers, and creates value for industries.

Many businesses are already leveraging agricultural residues to reduce costs, improve supply chain sustainability, and drive product innovation. This shift is creating real commercial value across multiple sectors. Examples include:

• Energy companies using residues to produce renewable fuels like biogas and bioethanol, lowering energy costs and meeting emissions targets.
• Packaging, paper, and bioplastics manufacturers replacing wood or petroleum-based inputs with residues such as rice and wheat straw to cut costs and reduce environmental impact.
• Construction and building materials firms converting residues into panels, insulation, and boards to meet the growing demand for low-carbon building solutions.
• Chemical and processing companies utilizing residues as alternative feedstocks for producing silica, biopolymers, and industrial chemicals.
• Textile and consumer goods brands integrating residue-based fibers into fabrics, nonwovens, and sustainable product lines for eco-conscious consumers.
• Agribusinesses repurposing residues for livestock feed and soil enhancement, reducing waste while boosting productivity.
• Food and wellness companies extracting dietary fibers, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds from residues to develop high-value health products.
• Research and technology firms transforming residues into advanced materials such as nanocomposites and filtration media for emerging markets.

Agricultural residues are becoming a strategic business resource and delivering environmental benefits while opening profitable new avenues for innovation and growth.

For farmers, crop residues like straw and stalks are seen as a burden. They are bulky to handle, difficult to store, and often end up being burned due to limited alternatives. The lack of awareness, poor market access, and minimal support make it challenging to manage them effectively.

We will help you turn this challenge into an opportunity. As a farmer or agri-producer, you can benefit by:
• Connecting with verified buyers who are actively sourcing agricultural residues
• Getting introduced to logistics and storage partners for handling and transport
• Accessing safe handling guidelines to avoid spoilage, fire hazards, or contamination
• Becoming part of a growing network that values residues as a resource, not waste

By joining ARX, you open new income opportunities, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to a sustainable agricultural system.

Green-tech companies often face challenges in sourcing agricultural residues at scale. Supply can be inconsistent, quality may suffer due to contamination or poor storage, and rising transport costs add further complexity. Seasonal gaps and unclear regulations also make reliable sourcing difficult.

ARX helps address these challenges by:
• Connecting you with verified agri-producers to ensure consistent and traceable supply
• Facilitating access to clean, well-handled residues that meet industry requirements
• Introducing you to logistics and storage partners to streamline operations
• Providing tailored business services, technical support, and collaboration opportunities within our growing ecosystem

By partnering with ARX, green-tech companies can establish secure, efficient supply chains and scale their business solutions with greater confidence.

Handling agricultural residues presents unique challenges for logistics and storage companies. The material is often bulky, difficult to handle and prone to contamination. Without stable contracts or reliable partners, it can be hard to plan routes, optimize loads, or ensure safe storage.

ARX bridges that gap for you:
• Connecting you with verified producers and buyers to ensure steady and traceable flow
• Establishing clear handling protocols and packaging guidelines to reduce contamination and spoilage risks
• Facilitating partnerships that offer predictable volumes, reducing uncertainty in transport and storage planning
• Creating visibility within a growing ecosystem of businesses who depend on reliable logistics partners
• Offering tailored business support to help you explore new opportunities in the growing space

By working with ARX, logistics/storage providers can tap into consistent demand, expand service offerings, and build profitable, long-term relationships across the residue value chain.

Academic and research institutions working on bio-based materials, renewable energy, or sustainable agriculture often face challenges in accessing clean, diverse, and traceable agricultural residues. Inconsistent supply, contamination, and lack of reliable data can slow down experimentation, affect research outcomes, and limit real-world impact.

ARX supports research partners by:
• Providing access to small-batch, research-grade residue samples sourced from verified producers
• Ensuring clean handling, proper storage, and traceable origin for higher experimental reliability
• Sharing basic composition data to support experimental planning and material validation
• Facilitating direct contact with farmers, processors, and industry experts for field insights
• Enabling collaboration opportunities with companies and institutions working across the residue value chain

By joining ARX, scientific institutes and universities gain practical support and reliable access to high-quality materials, helping accelerate research, field testing, and real-world innovation.
