S\u00f6dra is the largest forest-owner association in Sweden and an international forest industry group. With raw material from 52,000 forest owners sustainable managed forests, S\u00f6dra produce timber products, pulp and green energy \u2013 and is always looking to develop new products from this renewable material.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f6dra is today a leading supplier of pulp with customers across large parts of the world and a global logistics network. The pulp mills produce both paper pulp for paper production and dissolving pulp for the textile industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant potential in lignin as a sustainable material<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the unique OnceMore\u00ae\u00a0process, S\u00f6dra recycle textile fibres on a large scale and enable circular flows within the textile industry. Products from the mills also include biomethanol, tall oil and turpentine marketed under the Liquid Forest\u2122 brand\u00a0which contribute to a responsible use of the raw material. The plans to make lignin available to the market, in large quantities and in consistent quality, are the latest example of the aspiration that no part of the tree should ever go to waste.

As one of the world\u2019s largest producers of pulp from forest raw materials, S\u00f6dra extracts millions of tonnes of lignin from wood annually. However, with its bonding properties, lignin has significant potential as a sustainable material.

Just as it does inside a tree, lignin today is used mostly as a binder in the chemical industry, and above all in different types of glue. But a much wider use of lignin is possible since its phenolic structure is excellent as a base for chemicals and raw materials that are currently based on fossil materials.\u00a0 Lignin has been used for several decades for various applications, including as a dispersant for concrete and plasterboard, and as a binder in road stabilization and animal feed. Now the second-generation lignin is here, a kraft lignin available in solid form, offering many new uses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeed to find new ways of using natural resources\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f6dra plans to make large volumes of this new type of lignin ready for the market and looks for new partnerships to do so. This is important to find answers to the questions: Where can lignin do the most good? And how could lignin make a difference to you and to the transition to a fossil-free society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA sustainable society needs to find new ways of using natural resources,\u201d said Vice President S\u00f6dra Cell Bioproducts Johannes Bogren<\/strong>. \u201cAround a quarter of a tree consists of lignin which means our pulp mills produce it in large quantities. We always strive to make the best possible use of our forest raw material and lignin has the potential to replace fossil materials and contribute to the green transition.\u201d<\/p>

S\u00f6dra Cell Bioproducts Sales Manager Viktor Odenbrink<\/strong>: \u201cResearch is underway for everything from lightweight automotive components to a sustainable ingredient in road surfacing. We are already talking to several like-minded companies about lignin, but our type of kraft lignin is still a new and largely unexplored raw material. That\u2019s why we\u2019re looking for people who\u2019d like to start a conversation on supporting a fossil-free society together. Could lignin be a future raw material for you and your business? If so, come and explore its potential with us\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
