Our technology is unique. Through using softwood residues, we can contribute to the phasing-out of fossil raw materials in Europe,\u201d said Monica Normark, Chemical Engineer and Celluapp Process Manager at SEKAB E-Technology.<\/p>\n<p>At next week\u2019s World Bio Markets trade fair in Amsterdam, clean-tech company SEKAB E-Technology will present their patented technology platform <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sekab.com\/celluapp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Celluapp<\/a>. It converts softwood residues to sugar and lignin that can be refined into for example ethanol, aviation fuel or plastics. The technology is ready to be employed in plants with a large-scale production. No such plants exist today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing our technology, it will be possible in the future to make bioplastics with much lower climate impact than traditional fossil based plastics. The bioplastics are also biodegradable in soil or water within two years,\u201d said Monica Normark.<\/p>\n<p>The technology platform Celluapp is ready for full-scale operation and is available by licence.
