Södra to add lignin within its product range and seek partners to expand uses

In Sweden, Södra plans to add lignin within its range of forest-based materials and seeks partners to develop lignin-based sustainable alternatives to fossil materials in a range of applications. 

In the unique OnceMore® process, Södra recycle textile fibres on a large scale and enable circular flows within the textile industry. Products from the mills also include biomethanol, tall oil and turpentine marketed under the Liquid Forest™ brand which contribute to a responsible use of the raw material. The plans to make lignin available to the market, in large quantities and in consistent quality, are the latest example of the aspiration that no part of the tree should ever go to waste.
