R3 Carbons transforms biomass into high-performance activated carbon for air, water, and industrial purification systems. By combining renewable U.S. feedstocks with advanced engineering, we’re reshaping how industries achieve cleaner outputs, sustainably, economically, and domestically.

Engineered from Reclaimed Wood

R3 Carbons’ renewable feedstock delivers consistent adsorption, hardness, and purity, while reducing environmental impact.

Reclaiming Carbon

Our proprietary activation process converts renewable wood feedstocks into precision-tuned carbon materials with optimized micro-, meso-, and macropores. From high-surface-area adsorption to uniform pellet hardness, R3 Carbons’ materials are built for consistent results in liquid- and vapor-phase environments.

We merge proven thermochemical science with modern sustainability, achieving advanced purity and reactivation without compromising environmental goals.

Built for Every Environment

Our solutions serve the world’s most critical purification needs, from municipal water systems and beverage production to industrial emissions, pharmaceutical and gold recovery.

HydroSorbR™ targets liquid-phase contaminants with high mesoporous capacity, while AeroSorbR™ delivers rapid vapor-phase adsorption for VOCs, odors, and airborne toxins. Together, they represent the next generation of engineered carbon performance.

Circular Manufacturing

Every ton of R3 carbon prevents millions of pounds of wood from entering landfills. Our process closes the loop—reclaiming valuable carbon, reducing emissions, and generating measurable carbon credits for our partners.

From recovered feedstock to high-performance adsorption media, we’re proving that environmental responsibility and industrial reliability can be the same mission.

American Feedstock

R3 Carbons sources its renewable wood feedstock entirely from within the United States, keeping supply chains secure, stable, and independent of foreign tariffs or geopolitical risk.

Every stage of production, from carbonization to activation and reactivation, happens on U.S. soil. The result is reliable quality, faster delivery, and local jobs that strengthen both our economy and our environment.

Innovation For A Cleaner Society

R3 Carbons is more than a manufacturer, we’re a partner in cleaner industry. Whether you’re designing systems for municipal treatment, industrial purification, or next-generation sustainability, our team can help you engineer the right solution.
