Since its establishment in 2019, Nordic Bioproducts Group has remained committed to developing and producing alternative, sustainable, and high-value-added applications that replace fossil-based raw materials and harmful chemicals. The company’s intelligent bioproducts are used among other things in textiles, food, medicines and cosmetics.
Nordic Bioproducts Group’s pioneering AaltocellTM technology, protected by patents, enables the production of microcrystalline cellulose and biocomponents with exceptional added value for numerous applications. By implementing their bioproducts, bioprocesses, and innovations, the company actively reduces the environmental and social costs associated with industrial production.
For instance, in the textile industry, pulp-based fibers can replace cotton and artificial fibers, while in the packaging sector, they can be used as an alternative to plastic. Similarly, in the construction industry, bio-based pulp can be used in insulation and paints.
Nordic Bioproducts Group develops and manufactures cellulose hybrids using Finnish forest fibers, as well as cellulose-containing side and waste streams from industrial and agricultural sources. The company strives to introduce environmentally sustainable and low-emission alternatives to fossil-based materials and harmful chemicals to the market.
The successful completion of the financing round enables the timely completion of the Lappeenranta factory investment by the end of 2023.
