Our story

A true industrial impact company

What we aim to do

We’re here to literally and figuratively move mountains. Challenging the status quo of nitrate-based technology, our hydrogen peroxide-based explosive technology reduces GHG emissions and removes toxic byproducts to positively impact every industry relying on blasting operations.

Our vision

To transform how we mine, extract and build to enable the sustainable societies of tomorrow

We envision a sustainable future enabled by new environmentally-friendly explosives that are the natural way we mine, extract and build. By reinventing explosives, we are set to become a crucial part of more sound supply chains for raw materials and infrastructure — essential for the sustainable industries and societies of tomorrow.

Our mission

To set the new standard for blasting

In 2020, we achieved what others thought was impossible. We invented a safe, sustainable, and efficient explosive based on hydrogen peroxide. Our patented technology consists of widely available material and can be locally sourced and produced. Now, we are going global.

Our ethos

Moving mountains. Through the force of innovation.

We’re the forward-thinkers in an industry of traditionalists. Those intent on transforming and setting a new standard in a sector relying on decades-old solutions. We’re in the commercial explosives industry, and we’re in business to figuratively and literally move mountains.

We’ve invented the world’s first hydrogen peroxide-based explosive. A safe, sustainable and efficient alternative to the ammonium-nitrate based explosives that dominate the world’s mines, quarries, tunnels, and construction sites.

What we’re doing has never been done before. Yet, we’re only writing the next chapter of a story that started in 1867.

When Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, he accelerated the industrial revolution. Like Nobel’s dynamite, Hypex Bio too is born in Sweden — and serves as the first frontier in a new revolution.

We’re spearheading the clean industrial shift, and our mission is to set the standard for next-generation blasting.

Blasting is a critical step in nearly all the world’s industries, and no matter how you slice it, the old standard will never go green. Our solution vastly reduces carbon emissions, removes harmful pollution and increases operational efficiency.

We’re a company making a true impact.

We are Hypex Bio.
