ORCA DI is a deep-tech startup in Rupnagar (Ropar), Punjab, transforming solid digestate from biogas plants and rice straw into high-value, bio-based materials — for packaging, engineered composites, and industrial applications.
We specialise in the valorisation of solid digestate from biogas plants and rice straw, converting underutilised resources into innovative bio-based materials for industrial and commercial applications.
Driven by science and innovation, we develop sustainable solutions that support the circular economy, reduce environmental pollution, and promote responsible resource utilisation. Our technologies help convert waste into valuable products for packaging, engineered bio-composites, renewable energy, and other advanced bio-based applications.
Through continuous research, collaboration, and sustainable innovation, we are building technologies that contribute to a cleaner, greener, and more resource-efficient future — creating economic, environmental, and social value along the way.
To become a global leader in transforming waste into sustainable, high-value materials for a circular economy.
To develop innovative technologies that convert agricultural and biogas waste into sustainable products while creating environmental, economic, and social impact.
A team bridging cutting-edge materials science with commercially viable, circular solutions.
A portfolio combining scientific innovation with circular-economy principles — environmentally responsible alternatives for industrial applications.
Manufactured using processed solid-digestate fibres combined with high-performance synthetic resin systems, designed for non-structural interior applications where sustainability and resource efficiency are valued alongside functional performance. Available in multiple thicknesses to suit different applications.
ApplicationsProduced by segregating lignin-rich material (LRM) from biogas-plant waste and hot-pressing it into customised shapes — without conventional plastics. The result is biodegradable, bio-based, and designed as a sustainable alternative to single-use packaging, suitable for trays, containers, and protective packaging.
ApplicationsHigh-purity (up to 95%) industrial-grade lignin extracted from lignin-rich biomass through proprietary chemical processing. This renewable aromatic biopolymer is a sustainable raw material across resins, adhesives, composites, and specialty chemicals — a renewable alternative to petroleum-derived ingredients.
ApplicationsWe continue to develop new technologies and products that maximise value from agricultural and bioenergy waste — advancing sustainable manufacturing and supporting the global transition toward a circular, low-carbon economy.
