LignoBrite Upcycled homecare ingredients

Borregaard is proud to present LignoBrite – a sustainable, upcycled and multifunctional biopolymer for homecare products, bringing circularity and nature into your products. 

Lignin is a natural polymer found in all plants. Borregaard extracts the lignin from wild, sustainably harvested Norway Spruce. The water-soluble lignin biopolymer LignoBrite is a powerful dispersant that boosts cleaning performance and prevents films, scales, and deposits in detergent applications such as automatic dishwash, laundry, hard surface and industrial cleaning.
