More about lignin biopolymers
What is a lignin biopolymer?
Lignin is the binding agent in wood and the world’s second most abundant biopolymer.
Products with documented low footprints
Our products have documented low climate footprints and provide better environmental performance than the alternatives in almost all environmental categories.
Sustainably managed forests – an everlasting resource
The 2019 un special report on climate change and land shows that land use and forests play a vital role, serving three important purposes: climate: co2 uptake and storage biodiversity: provide the principal basis for important species renewable raw material: for sustainable products that can replace fossil-based alternatives
