Bind-X

Bind-X is an industrial biotechnology company founded in 2011, originally known as Dust BioSolutions.

The company focuses on developing biological binders aimed at enhancing sustainability in heavy industries, particularly in dust control and road stabilization on mine sites. Their mission is to help mines operate more sustainably by using less water. The core technology of Bind-X is biocementation, a natural process where microorganisms precipitate calcium carbonate to solidify loose materials. Their primary product, TerraBind, creates semi-permeable layers that prevent dust and weed growth. Bind-X also offers solutions for dust control that are more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than traditional methods, as well as road stabilization services that require significantly less water. Additionally, they provide customized development and technical support to ensure effective implementation of their technologies. Headquartered in Planegg, Germany, Bind-X operates a production facility in Centurion, South Africa, and has a logistics hub in Western Australia. The company serves mining customers globally and also targets agriculture and construction sectors with its innovative solutions.
