Sustainable Agriculture

Borregaard is the world’s leading producer of sustainable lignin-based biopolymers, microfibrillar cellulose (MFC) and vanillin. Our environmentally friendly products can be used in a range of agricultural applications, including crop protection, plant nutrition, biocontrol and seed coating. They help farmers produce more food with less inputs.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

We offer independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for our liquid and powder lignosulfonates from our plants in Norway and USA. You can find them for download here.

Documented Low Footprints through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)

Independent, third party Life Cycle Assessments, in which some of Borregaard’s products were compared with competing synthetic alternatives, confirm that our products provide better environmental performance than the alternatives in almost all environmental categories.

Supporting the United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals

Borregaard's bio-based solutions for agriculture support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals numbers 2 and 13; 'Zero hunger' and 'Climate action'. We help farmers produce more food by using efficient, environmentally friendly products and solutions that have a lower carbon footprint than synthetic alternatives. This, in turn, contributes to more sustainable agriculture.
