The project ran between October 2023 and June 2025.
Project results
The project has yielded the results we planned and the main goals with fully developed products that are now being implemented have been achieved. The project has resulted in several new products, strong IP including patent applications, and greatly increased experience of working with lignin for all four companies in the project group.
The project has provided more value outside the project group than expected. The results have been requested by more actors, which has led to more collaborations.

Long-term effects of the project
The long-term effects are mainly that the companies in the project group can now launch products made of innovative biomaterials and grow them on the market. We see a strong global demand for plastic made from the Swedish forest!
A spin-off from the project is that we have launched e-commerce bags within polyethylene that are now sold to several well-known Swedish brands, such as Blåkläder, Scorett, Isbjörn.
Project implementation
The project has achieved the goals but with a slightly different process than planned. The tests have been both successful and unsuccessful, with the result that we have had to redesign the process, but still stay within the schedule.
When it comes to the collaboration, we should have communicated more closely, with even clearer requirements for deliveries from the start. But it is always easy to be wise in hindsight.
Participants
Lignin Industries AB, Emballator AB, Trioworld AB and Thevinyl AB.
Budget
