Biomaterials/Biobased Polymers

SpruceSugar™: Bio-based polysaccharide from upcycled sawdust

SpruceSugar™ is  versatile, bio-based polysaccharide extracted from upcycled Norway Spruce sawdust with the aim to support greener supply chains and advance the transition to a bio-based economy across industries.

Developed by Boreal Bioproducts, based in Finland, SpruceSugar™ delivers performance, sustainability, and scalability, and is available in dry powder or liquid concentrate with tailored lignin content.

Cellulose nanofibers from plant waste

Transforms plant waste into advanced cellulose nanofibers for sustainable and high-performance materials in the circular bioeconomy. VERDE aims to produce cost-competitive advanced biomaterials with a wide range of applications, from low-volume (cosmetics, electronics, filtration, sensors) to high-volume (packaging, plastic, composites, cement)  that improve product performance as well as environmental footprint.

Green Biopolymer: Chitosan from Industrial Crustacean Waste

Transforms industrial crustacean waste into high-value biopolymers such as Chitosan using proprietary green processes and modular on-site system to manufacture wound dressings and medical sutures, water purification filters, biodegradable bioplastics, agricultural coatings and supplements, cosmetics and hair care products, 3D biomedical and dental applications.
