## About

Based in Tennessee, US, and founded in 2021 by co-founders Corey Tyree and Liesl Schindler, Trillium Renewable Chemicals, Inc. is focused on developing and commercializing chemicals that are made from renewable feedstocks such as agricultural waste, biomass, and microorganisms. In December 2022, Trillium Renewable Chemicals Inc. raised USD 10.6 million in Series A funding led by investor Hyosung Advanced Materials Corporation, with the participation of other investors Helm AG and Capricorn Partners. In May 2026, Trillium Renewable Chemicals, Inc. raised USD 13 million in series B funding led by Hyosung Advanced Materials Corp., with participation from Capricorn Partners.

The company's flagship product is a renewable acrylonitrile alternative derived from glycerol, a renewable feedstock. This breakthrough product offers customers a safer and more sustainable option compared to conventional, fossil-based acrylonitrile, which is commonly used in the production of plastics, fibers, and resins. By harnessing the power of green technology, trillium reduces carbon emissions and enhances safety standards.

The company will use the May 2026 funding to develop engineering and design its first commercial-scale manufacturing plant.
