UK-based TMO Renewables, in conjuction with the US’ Fiberright, has developed a second-generation biofuel made of waste material such as cardboard that will eventually be used as an alternative transportation fuel.

TMO Renewables has created a strain of “turbo-charged” bacteria that is able to transform cardboard, tea bags and other waste into clean fuel. After the $500 million collaboration between the two companies, more than 15 plants using the process will be built during the following years, generating fuel on a commercial scale.
