Borregaard - The Sustainable Biorefinery

Borregaard operates one of the world's most advanced and sustainable biorefineries. By using natural, renewable raw materials, we produce advanced and environmentally friendly biochemicals that can replace oil-based products. 

Utilising the different components of wood, we produce lignins and lignosulfonates, speciality cellulose, biovanillin, cellulose fibrils and bioethanol for a variety of applications in sectors such as agriculture and aquaculture, construction, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, foodstuffs, batteries and biofuels.

We employ 1100 man-years in plants and sales offices in 13 countries throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas.
