Activated Carbon. Circular by Design.

R3 Carbons transforms reclaimed wood into high-grade activated carbon — closing the loop on waste while cleaning the world’s water and air. By leveraging renewable feedstocks, modular U.S. manufacturing, and carbon-credit generation, we’re building a sustainable materials future that keeps resources local, prices stable, and communities employed.

glass square — Purifies municipal, industrial, and water process streams with activated carbon that targets organics, chlorine, and emerging contaminants for reliable, high-quality effluent.

filter square — Removes VOCs, siloxanes, and mercury for cleaner emissions and safer operations across industrial air, environmental, and energy systems.

gold square — Maximizes precious-metal recovery with high-hardness carbons that deliver superior adsorption, minimal attrition, and long service life in CIC, CIP, and CIL circuits.

biogas square — Captures H₂S, siloxanes, and VOCs to upgrade RNG quality—protecting compressors, engines, and membranes while improving biogas methane yield and profitability.

sugar square — Clarifies taste, color, and purity in ingredients and sweeteners using food-grade carbons that maintain flavor integrity and meet strict regulatory standards.

water glass — Purifies municipal, industrial, and water process streams with activated carbon that targets organics, chlorine, and emerging contaminants for reliable, high-quality effluent.

air filter-2 — Removes VOCs, siloxanes, and mercury for cleaner emissions and safer operations across industrial air, environmental, and energy systems.

gold melted — Maximizes precious-metal recovery with high-hardness carbons that deliver superior adsorption, minimal attrition, and long service life in CIC, CIP, and CIL circuits.

biogas plant-3 — Captures H₂S, siloxanes, and VOCs to upgrade RNG quality—protecting compressors, engines, and membranes while improving biogas methane yield and profitability.

white sugar-2 — Clarifies taste, color, and purity in ingredients and sweeteners using food-grade carbons that maintain flavor integrity and meet strict regulatory standards.

Across Industries

From clean drinking water to emission control and resource recovery, R3 Carbons powers critical purification systems around the world.

Engineered for Purity and Performance

Two activated carbon platforms engineered for exceptional performance in both liquid and vapor-phase purification. HydroSorbR™ is a wood-based activated carbon designed for water, food, and process applications, delivering reliable removal of color, odor, and organic contaminants. AeroSorbR™ is a pelletized carbon optimized for air, gas, and vapor-phase filtration systems, providing durable, low-pressure-drop performance for clean and efficient operation.

Precision Activation

Our patented activation technology unlocks vast surface area and pore control—delivering consistent adsorption across liquid and gas phases. By sourcing reclaimed wood domestically, R3 Carbons eliminates the geopolitical volatility and carbon footprint of imported coal-based carbons. Our materials power purification systems across diverse industries, including water treatment, air and gas purification, food and beverage processing, and many more.

Cleaner Resources. Lasting Impact.

Every ton of R3 Carbons product replaces fossil-based carbon and diverts wood waste from landfills. Our closed-loop process not only cleans water and air—it generates measurable carbon-credit value, reinvested into sustainable expansion across the U.S.
