Lignin Industries is a Swedish materials technology company developing bio-based thermoplastic resins derived from lignin, a renewable by-product of the pulp and paper industry. Its materials are designed to be processed on conventional plastics equipment (e.g., injection molding, extrusion, film) as drop-in or partial replacements for fossil-based polymers.
The company targets applications in packaging, consumer goods, electronics, automotive, and construction, aiming to lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and increase biobased content without compromising functionality. Lignin Industries focuses on scaling supply of lignin-based pellets and compounds, application development with converters and brand owners, and quality and consistency of feedstock to support broader adoption of sustainable plastics in industrial value chains.
The funding supports scaling of Renol®, a bio-based thermoplastic, with partnerships in electronics, home goods, and construction, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics.
