Stora Enso cooperates with Koskisen to develop bio-based furniture bords
In Finland, Stora Enso, a provider of renewable products in packaging, biomaterials, wooden construction and paper, said that Finnish firm Koskisen is using Stora Enso’s bio-based binder, NeoLigno, to replace fossil-based resins used in furniture boards.
“Our experts have been working together with Stora Enso to come up with this brand-new bio-based product offering. Koskisen constantly looks for opportunities to optimize its CO2 balance. One of the biggest sources for CO2 emissions in our production are the binders that we use in the panels, as they are traditionally fossil-based. The co-operation with Stora Enso has offered us a unique opportunity to address this issue: the lignin-based NeoLigno makes the Zero Particle Board bio-based,” said Koskisen’s CEO Jukka Pahta.
“We have now been working with Stora Enso for two years, and we are finalizing and optimizing the production of Zero Particle Board in Järvelä, Finland. Our target is to launch the commercial product and deliveries to our customers in autumn 2022,” the executive added.
