Lignin

Lignin: The biopolymer that is becoming part of our everyday lives.

A compound with potential.

We utilize wood completely and efficiently. The result: high-quality cellulose fibers, sustainable energy, and the versatile natural compound: lignin.

Lignin, a natural, aromatic polymer, is a renewable carbon source with enormous potential. Its special molecular structure makes it a powerful, functional compound. Lignin is used where fossil raw materials have previously dominated – including in resins, binders, and composite materials. A natural raw material for a circular, CO2-neutral, and therefore sustainable industry.

Our biorefineries

Lignin is one of the largest biogenic raw material streams in the world that has hardly been used as a material to date – rich in bound carbon, functionally versatile, and ready for industrial use.

One material – two qualities – unlimited possibilities

Our lignin is available in two qualities – each tailored to different industrial requirements.

All are based on the same biogenic raw material and the same sustainable production principles, but differ in structure, purity, and application compatibility.

This enables us to offer tailor-made solutions for various process requirements – from basic applications to sophisticated high-performance formulations.

Lignin makes an impact.

Lignin is already being used or tested in numerous industrial sectors today – from wood-based materials and packaging to high-performance composites.

Thanks to its natural properties, lignin can replace fossil-based components either completely or partially. This can be achieved without any loss of performance, but with the advantages of a natural polymer

Biocomposites & thermoplastics

As a substitute for petroleum-based plastics.

Resins

To substitute phenol in resins, for example for plywood and insulation materials.
