MetGen’s Post

Happy to be featured in SynBioBeta earlier this month with an article about our game-changing partnership with Hellyar Plastics, a UK-based polymer expert with nearly seven decades of industry leadership. As described, this collaboration will fast-track the commercialization of Renol®, our patented lignin-based thermoplastic, and help the plastic industry reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Read the article via link below and find out why lignin matters and how Renol® is not “just a green alternative, but a highly functional material designed for scalability”. 🌲 https://lnkd.in/dXkwf85b #greentech #lignin #ligninindustries #biobasedplastics

Since 2023, #allnex has been collaborating with AGC Vinythai Public and Professor Mojgan Nejad from Michigan State University (MSU) to revolutionize epoxy resin formulations. Our joint research aims to replace bisphenol A with lignin, a renewable and biobased material, in epoxy resins, significantly increasing their biobased content. The findings of the project’s first stage were published in the paper ‘Choosing the right lignin to fully replace Bisphenol A in epoxy resin formulation’ in the ChemSusChem Journal. You can read the full publication here - https://brnw.ch/21wLZxZ As we move forward, we are excited to announce the next phase of this research, which focuses on bringing these sustainable, low-carbon epoxy solutions to market by 2026.

AEP Polymers successfully carries out the epoxy string time test! ⚗ 🌱   Our project partner AEP Polymers is developing a bio-based epoxy formulation for the infrastructural applications envisaged in the EU-Project r-LightBioCom. The next step will see project partner ACCIONA, who leads the infrastructure use case, conducting lab scale tests on this material.   Following Acciona’s initial test results, AEP intends to optimize the pultrusion formulation to further enhance the resin's performance and suitability for infrastructure needs. #rLightBioCom #HighPerformanceMaterials #SustainableComposites #RawMaterials #BioBasedMaterials #HighPerformanceComposites #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #resinsBioResins #BioaAdditives #Recycling

Step by step, we're driving a sustainable future! 🌱 Bio-based solutions are essential across all industries, and lignin can support various sectors in their smooth transition to sustainability. Together, we can make this world better! 🌍✨ #Lignin #Sustainability #Innovation #BioProducts"

Did you know that lignin is a natural biopolymer which can be found in the cell walls of plants? In the collaborative project between Metsä Fibre and ANDRITZ it was demonstrated that it is possible to refine a bioproduct from lignin separated from the pulp process. This bioproduct could then be used for example as a concrete plasticiser. The new product will be processed at the demo plant being constructed at the Metsä Group’s Äänekoski mill site. #MetsäFibre #LigniOx #Lignin #Bioproducts
