We set forth below the response of Artius Acquisition Inc. (“Artius” or the “Company”) to the comments
of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its letter dated May 24, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the Company’s amended
registration statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-254012, filed with the Commission on May 18, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).

Artius has filed today Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 3”) together
with this letter via EDGAR correspondence. We are also providing supplementally to the Staff four copies of a version of Amendment No. 3, which has been marked to show changes since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to the Registration
Statement on May 18, 2021, and certain other information noted below.

 We have reproduced below in bold the Staff’s comment and
have provided the Company’s response following the comment. Unless otherwise indicated, all page references in the responses set forth below are to the pages of Amendment No. 3. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter shall
have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 3.

 We note the revisions made in response to comment 5 as reflected with the updated balance sheet information
for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, it is not clear how you are calculating the net increase in total stockholders’ equity from the merger for both the no redemption scenario ($654 million) and the maximum redemption
scenario ($297 million). Please show us how you properly calculated the amounts of change, or make appropriate revisions to correct these disclosures.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 209 of Amendment No. 3.

 File No. 333-254012

Dear Mr. Hagius, Ms. Crotty, Mr. Burton and Ms. Tillan:

We set forth below the response of Artius Acquisition Inc. (“Artius” or the “Company”) to the comments
of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its letter dated May 12, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the Company’s amended
registration statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-254012, filed with the Commission on May 3, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).

Artius has filed today Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”) together
with this letter via EDGAR correspondence. We are also providing supplementally to the Staff four copies of a version of Amendment No. 2, which has been marked to show changes since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on May 3, 2021, and certain other information noted below.

 We have reproduced below in bold the Staff’s comment and
have provided the Company’s response following the comment. Unless otherwise indicated, all page references in the responses set forth below are to the pages of Amendment No. 2. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter shall
have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 2.

 We note your response to our prior comment 2 and your amendments mentioned therein. We advise you, however,

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 2 of Amendment No. 2.

2.
 We note your response to our prior comment 5 and your amendments mentioned therein. You state that, as of
April 2021, Origin has generated more than $1.9 billion in customer demand. This does not align with your disclosures on pages 34 and 112 that Origin has generated approximately $1.0 billion in customer demand. Please reconcile and
explain.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages
34 and 113 of Amendment No. 2.

 Packaging Matters Offtake Agreement, page 190

it may be useful to provide tabular disclosure.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the
Company has revised the disclosure on page 195 of Amendment No. 2.

 Origin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations The Business Combination, page 203

5.
 We note the revision made in response to our prior comment 22. Please revise further so that amounts
relating to the net increase in total stockholders’ equity from the merger shown at the top of page 204 agree with your unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet on page 156 for both the no redemption scenario and the maximum
redemption scenario.

 Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the
Staff that the Company has updated the referenced disclosure, beginning on page 208 of Amendment No. 2, to be consistent with the updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

Re:
 Artius Acquisition Inc.

Registration Statement on Form S-4

Filed March 8, 2021

File No. 333-254012

Dear Mr. Hagius, Ms. Crotty, Mr. Burton and Ms. Tillan:

We set forth below the response of Artius Acquisition Inc. (“Artius” or the “Company”) to the comments
of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its letter dated April 5, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-254012, filed with the Commission on March 9, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).

Artius has filed today Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) together
with this letter via EDGAR correspondence. We are also providing supplementally to the Staff four copies of a version of Amendment No. 1, which has been marked to show changes since the initial filing of the Registration Statement on
March 9, 2021, and certain other information noted below.

 We have reproduced below in bold the Staff’s comment and have
provided the Company’s response following the comment. Unless otherwise indicated, all page references in the responses set forth below are to the pages of Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter shall have
the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 1.

 Summary

Origin, page 28

1.
 Please provide additional information about Origin in the Summary section, including a discussion of the
stage of development of its Platform Technology and products, its history of net losses and its expectations around revenue generation. As drafted shareholders are provided with little information regarding the business history or prospects of the
target business, which is material to a decision of how to vote in relation to the proposed business combination.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 28 of Amendment No. 1.

2.
 Please provide additional disclosure explaining the meaning of the terms “carbon neutral,”
“carbon negative,” and “net zero”, as used throughout the prospectus.

 1

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the
disclosure on pages 2 and 4 of Amendment No. 1 to define the terms “carbon negative” and “net zero”. We respectfully advise the Staff that the prospectus does not include the term “carbon neutral” and, accordingly,
the Company has not included a definition of that term in the prospectus.

 Subscription Agreements, page 31

3.
 We note your disclosure that, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Artius entered into
the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors for an aggregate purchase price equal to $200.0 million for 20 million shares of Combined Company Common Stock. Please revise your disclosure to clearly identify the PIPE Investors,
including Pepsi, Nestle and Danone, who are identified on page 233 but who do not account for the entire $200 million investment.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 32 and 145 of Amendment No. 1 by
identifying the PIPE Investors that have consented to be named in the Company’s public filings. We respectfully submit that the omission of the identities of other PIPE Investors, whose consent is required but has not been obtained, would not
diminish the disclosure in any material respect. In this regard, the Company advises the Staff that, to its knowledge, none of the PIPE Investors will own more than 5% of the Combined Company upon closing of the PIPE Placement and none of the PIPE
Investors are related parties of the Company.

 Our Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination, page 33

4.
 Please provide additional disclosure in this section concerning:

•

 The basis for the statement Origin is “one of the world’s leading carbon negative materials
companies”, given that it is an early stage company with a history of losses and no revenues

•

 The identity of the “trusted third parties” that have validated Origin’s patented drop- in
technology, economics and carbon impact

•

 The validation process undertaken by these third parties and results thereof

•

 The nature of the support provided by the list of major global customers and investors provided at the bottom of
page 33

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 34 and
112 of Amendment No. 1. In particular, while the Company believes that the statement that Origin is “one of the world’s leading carbon negative material companies” is factually accurate and consistent with the understanding of
the Company’s Board of Directors, we have revised the statement to state that the Board considered Origin’s status as an “innovative carbon negative material company” as a positive factor in its decision to approve the Business
Combination.

 The revised disclosure is also intended to clarify that the support and validation of trusted third parties that was taken
into account by the Board when considering the Business Combination refers to the investment and patronage by the well-known companies listed in that part of the disclosure.

5.
 We note your disclosure both here and throughout the prospectus that Origin has “generated
approximately $1.0 billion in customer demand in offtake agreements and capacity reservations (including embedded options)”. We also note your disclosure starting on page F-35 that these agreements
are subject to milestone dates and a liquidated damages provision, and that the company is currently seeking an extension of the milestone dates which are set to commence June 30, 2021. In addition, we note the agreements may be terminated if
the company does not commence commercial operations by December 31, 2021. Please revise your disclosure both here and in each place throughout the prospectus that the “$1.0 billion in customer demand” is cited to balance the
disclosure with the details provided on pages F-35 to F-36, so that shareholders understand the risks associated with the agreements and the context surrounding the
customer demand you reference.

 In addition, please file all offtake agreements as exhibits, or tell us why you do
not believe you are required to do so. Based on the prepayments received and your emphasis on the agreements in the registration statement they appear to be material. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 34, 45, 113, 114, and 187 of
Amendment No. 1.

 In addition, the Company has filed the offtake agreements as exhibits to Amendment No. 1.

Selected Historical Financial Data of the Combined Company on a Pro Forma Basis, page 47

6.
 Please disclose your pro forma net loss in the first table on page 48.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 49 of Amendment No. 1.

Risk Factors

 Initially, Origin plans to
rely solely on a single commercial scale facility., page 56

7.
 We note your disclosure that Origin’s operating plan assumes that Origin will have one commercial scale
facility until 2027. This appears to contradict your disclosures throughout the filing that the Origin 2 Plant will be operational in 2025. Please advise and revise where appropriate.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 45 and 57 of Amendment No. 1.

 Origin’s business relies on proprietary information and other intellectual property…., page 65

8.
 You note that “licensing of intellectual property is important to Origin’s business” and that
“Origin licenses one or more material patents from the University of California on a non- exclusive basis.” You have not discussed this license agreement in the Intellectual Property section of the
prospectus starting on page 180 or elsewhere. We also note your statement on page 181 that Origin has a “strong downstream license portfolio” and your disclosure on page F-44 regarding patent
licenses. Please disclose the material terms of each material license agreement, where appropriate, and file each as an exhibit to the filing. Alternatively, provide your analysis as to why such disclosure and filing is not required. See Item
601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

 3

 Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises
the Staff that following additional discussion with Origin, the Company has concluded that it does not view Origin’s license agreement with the University of California or any of the other license agreements to which Origin is a party as a
material agreement that is required to be filed as an exhibit pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to subsection (ii) of Regulation S-K Item 601(b)(10), if a contract
is of a sort that ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by the Company, it is deemed to be ordinary course and need not be filed unless, under subsection (ii)(B), it is a “contract upon which the registrant’s business is
substantially dependent.” The rule further states that a “license or other agreement to use a patent, formula, trade secret, process or trade name upon which registrant’s business depends to a material extent” shall be
filed.

 The Company respectfully advises the Staff that Origin’s license agreement with the University of California was made in the
ordinary course of business and Origin’s business does not depend upon the license agreement to a material extent. The license agreement grants Origin the right to practice, on a non-exclusive
basis, a U.S. patent directed to a method of preparing a chemical produced in Origin’s manufacturing process at certain reaction conditions. However, Origin’s platform technology is capable of preparing the chemical under reaction
conditions that do not fall within the scope of the licensed patent and therefore Origin is not dependent on the license agreement to a material extent to conduct its business. Similarly, Origin is not dependent to a material extent on any other
patents that it licenses because Origin is capable of manufacturing its expected products without relying on those patents. Accordingly, the Company respectfully submits that it is not required to file the University of California license agreement
as an exhibit.

 The Company has revised page 66 of Amendment No. 1 to remove the discussion of such license agreement. In
addition, the Company has revised the disclosure of Origin’s intellectual property beginning on page 191 of Amendment No. 1.

 The
Business Combination Background of the Business Combination, page 102

9.
 In relation to your disclosure that Artius’s Board of Directors concluded that the Merger Agreement,
the other agreements contemplated thereby and the Business Combination are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Artius and its shareholders, please revise your disclosure to provide further detail regarding how the valuation of Origin was
determined and approved, including any precedent transactions considered and how the projected financial information was used. Please also disclose any transaction multiples considered in relation to industry medians, if available.

 Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in the section
entitled “Background of the Business Combination” on pages 110 and 111 of Amendment No. 1 to provide further detail regarding how the valuation of Origin was considered by the Artius Board of Directors.

 Certain Origin Projected Financial Information, page 109

10.
 We note your disclosure that Origin provided Artius with its internally prepared base case and upside case
forecasts for each of the years in the ten-year period ending 2030. We also note that you have disclosed the “key elements” of the most recent projections provided by the management of Origin to
Artius. Please revise this section to disclose all material projections rather than limiting the information to the “key elements” thereof, and clearly disclose the basis and assumptions used to calculate the forecasted financial
information. In addition, please remove all disclaimers surrounding the financial projections included in the first two paragraphs of this section on page 109 and in the first full paragraph on page 110, namely the statement that the projected
financial information is the responsibility of Origin’s management. Artius, as the registrant, is responsible for all information in the filing and may not disclaim responsibility for its contents.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised on pages 114, 115 and 116 of Amendment No. 1.

11.
 We note your use of non-GAAP financial measures in the footnotes on
page 111. Please revise your disclosure to comply with Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. We remind you of Non-GAAP Financial Measures C&DI Question 101.04.

 Response: The Company respectfully submits to the Staff that due to the forward-looking nature of the
selected forecasted financial information, specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile such forecasted financial information to GAAP measures are not available. Origin’s management has advised the Company that it
is not possible for them to provide accurate forecasted non-GAAP reconciliations without unreasonable effort. However, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page
116 of Amendment No. 1 to disclose that fact and the probable significance of such information. The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the initial Registration Statement incorrectly labelled two of the line items in the forecasted
financial information as “Adjusted Gross Profit” and “Adjusted Gross Margin”. The Company has revised page 116 of Amendment No. 1 to include the corrected terms (“Adjusted Contribution” and “Adjusted
Contribution Margin”) and the accompanying description of those terms.

 Please file a tax opinion as an exhibit to the filing or provide us your analysis as to why you do not
believe such an opinion is required. Refer to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S- K and, for guidance, Section III.A. of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the tax opinion has been filed as Exhibit 8.1 of Amendment No. 1.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Other Related Events in Connection with the Business Combination, page 147

13.
 Please include pro forma adjustments for the issuance of the $10 million of convertible notes and the
SPAC transaction conversion of the bridge notes and related derivative liability and the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants liability, or tell us why the pro forma statements should not include adjustments for these items. We note the
disclosure on page F-45.

 5

 Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company has not
included the issuance of the $10 million of convertible notes as a transaction accounting adjustment in the pro forma financial statements since such notes were issued after December 31, 2020 and not in connection with or relating to the
merger. However, the shares of Combined Company Common Stock to be issued in connection with the conversion of the convertible notes have been included in the total number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock (69,415,637 shares) to be issued
in the merger to existing stockholders of Origin. All other items were evaluated under SEC Rule S-X 11-01(a)(8) to determine whether they are material transactions
separate from the acquisition
