- Sustainability
Turn your lignocellulosic waste into new high-value materials
Biorefinery solutions to fractionate, transform and validate biomass and by-products into cellulose, lignin, biomaterials and sustainable biochemicals.
Market need
Agri-food, agricultural, forestry, paper and other companies generate streams rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin whose potential is often underutilised.
Their valorisation requires selecting efficient pretreatments, separating the different fractions, adapting their properties to the end use and demonstrating their technical, environmental, regulatory and scale-up feasibility.
Our solution
Applications
Valorisation of agricultural, agri-food, forestry, paper and textile waste and by-products, as well as other industrial streams containing a lignocellulosic fraction.
Production of cellulosic pulps, cellulose micro/nanofibres and nanocrystals, lignin and lignin micro/nanoparticles, as well as sugars, biochemicals and platform products.
Development of materials for paper and cardboard packaging, coatings, biopolymer reinforcement, bio-based adhesives and recyclability assessment.
Design of hydrogels, aerogels, foams and porous materials, coating agents for encapsulation or controlled-release systems for agricultural, food, cosmetic and environmental applications.
Impact and benefits
- Transformation of residual streams into renewable raw materials and higher value-added products.
- Reduction of dependence on fossil resources and progress towards circular production models.
- Processes adapted to the actual composition of each stream, based on criteria of yield, selectivity, resource consumption and scalability.
- Reduction of technological risk through advanced characterisation, application testing and validation from laboratory to pilot plant.
