Biobased products

Worldwide, there are already many bio-based industries (agriculture, food industry, horticulture, paper industry) that are looking for new business opportunities in order to diversify and develop. Here, new bio-based materials and chemicals are very attractive options, since the value added created from biomass is much higher for these products than for renewable energy.

There is great potential for a stronger cooperation between agricultural, plastic and chemical industries. Competencies that were not associated before (like chemistry and agriculture) need to become strongly associated to enhance innovative power and subsequent economical activity.

In this playing field, we are active. We have been involved in the development of biobased products that show great potential and we are expanding the possibilites still. Our team offers biobased solutions. Our activities range from development to manufacturing and supply of biobased functional products. The backward integration/co-operation results in direct access to our raw materials. This security of supply is an important aspects we bring into partnerships.

The development of biobased solutions for various markets is an ongoing process.
The present portfolio includes:

• green lubricant products for various industrial applications
• natural fibers used in many different products, such as insulation products, paper and peat substitutes
• special sugars for several applications, and
• biobased chemical building blocks and plasticizers.
