Our collaboration with Fibenol on the installation of green asphalt is part of our long-term strategy to incorporate environmentally friendly solutions whenever possible. Small steps collectively create significant change, and we need to address this today, not tomorrow. As a developer, it is our duty to create an environment that supports a holistic and sustainable lifestyle. This responsibility drives us to constantly seek and implement innovations. The cooperation with Fibenol in taking these steps has been smooth and enjoyable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Capital Mill has provided an exemplary model of delivering sustainable and innovative solutions powered by Fibenol LIGNOVA, a local bio-based raw material. We appreciate the collaboration and initiative, and we look forward to the future of private residential area developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capital Mill initiated the first private residential area development project in Estonia, featuring Green Asphalt powered by Fibenol LIGNOVA. For Fibenol, this marks a collaborative initiative that drives changes towards more transparent value chains and sustainable solutions, motivated by a desire to improve rather than by regulatory demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key benefits of using Fibenol raw material LIGNOVA:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enables the reduction of Scope 3 CO2 emissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.environdec.com\/library\/epd9726\">EPD covered&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium CO2 footprint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biobased binder extender &amp; filler&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No sulfur smell (<em>due to the innovative pre-treatment technology Sunburst<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transparent and EU-based value-chain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to say that the Laaneserva development in Viimsi has become Estonia&#8217;s first residential area featuring eco-friendly asphalt.\u00a0At Fibenol, we are proud to have collaborated on this green asphalt solution, powered by our LIGNOVA lignin.
