Why It Matters
Corn growers face volatile markets and surplus production. Biobased products create new, stable demand channels that go beyond food and fuel. HVAC filters are non-discretionary, recurring consumables creating predictable, long-term value for American agriculture.
Aerterra expands corn beyond traditional food and fuel markets by transforming commodity corn into premium air filtration products. Our corn-based biopolymers create high-value, durable materials for everyday use. Unlike one-time purchases, air filters need replacement every 30-90 days, creating consistent, recurring demand for growers. By turning corn into everyday air filters, Aerterra helps unlock new markets for American farmers markets that repeat month after month in homes and buildings across the country.
Impact Rooted in Rural America
Every Aerterra filter keeps value circulating within U.S. farming communities from the field to the home. Our partnerships span corn-growing states across the nation, creating measurable impact where it matters most.
Working Hand-in-Hand with State Corn Associations
Aerterra collaborates directly with State Corn Associations to help their members, facilities, and communities breathe cleaner air. In 2025, Aerterra won the National Corn Growers Association's Consider Corn Challenge V at the Bio Innovations Midwest conference in Omaha, earning $100,000 and national recognition for pioneering corn-based air filtration technology that creates new markets for American farmers.
