Sustainable industry creates well-being for humans and society. Industrial development towards carbon neutral solutions, energy transition and circular economy improve also economic sustainability and employs thousands of people. Bio-products, carbon free energy and battery chemicals are only few examples of modern society’s improvements.

Lignin – the second most abundant natural polymer on earth – was designed by nature to keep plant tissue together and protect it from damage and decay. Lignin presence is particularly significant in woody (lignocellulosic) biomass used as raw material by biobased industries to manufacture goods and commodities. Importantly, such goods and commodities do not…
Päästäksemme irti fossiilisista raaka-aineista ja saavuttaaksemme ilmastotavoitteemme, hiiltä tulee kierrättää ekologisesti kestävästi….
There is a very high ambition level in the European Union for making things happen under the umbrella of Green Transfer. It is stated that implementing Green Transfer would ensure Europe’s strong and competitive position and bright future for generations and times to come. …
The EU Taxonomy Regulation introduces a new mandatory non-financial disclosure requirement for large companies that fall under the Non-Financial Reporting Directive….
What is the fuss about? Microplastics are found in growing quantities in the environment. They are tiny plastic particles, smaller than 5 mm in diameter. Due to their small size and non-biodegradability, they are easily ingested and have a tendency of accumulating in the water, soil, and tissues of different organisms. Typical sources of microplastics…
Traditionally sustainability has been considered as an extra: at worst, it can mean more costs, more effort, and a need for new expertise. When a more sustainable solution is both cheaper and easier to use, it sounds almost too good to be true. However, it is possible. Efficiency is achieved by smart cooperation where the…
Carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is envisaged by the European Green Deal (EGD) as one of the key measures that should contribute to achieving EU’s long-term objective of climate neutrality by 2050 as well as EU’s climate ambition to reduce greenhouse gases emissions by 50–55% from 1990 levels by 2030. In this context, the European Green Deal emphasizes that: “Should differences in levels of ambition…
We live in the times when world faces challenges like climate change, population growth, increasing global energy demand as well as possible shortage of fossil resources. These challenges force us to seek possibilities for shifting from oil-based to bio-based resources for energy and materials production. In this perspective, biorefinery concept is seen as the key…
