Thank you bioCircular Loop and Melina Gerdts for having our CEO Fredrik Malmfors at today's podcast. Great discussions about how lignin-based plastics serve to decrease the plastics industry's reliance on fossil materials. Innovative, scalable and recyclable, this bio-based material made from forest and agricultural residues can be used in a number of products across industries. What opportunities do we see, and what are the challenges? How do brands owners lead the way and how can compounders and converters act as enablers?

Thank you Mats Linder for visiting our site in Knivsta! Good discussions and shared insights.
It's nice with an excursion every now and then to break the routine of knowledge work. Especially when that excursion takes you right out into reality itself! Yesterday I had the pleasure to visit Christopher Carrick and Fredrik Malmfors at Lignin Industries AB in a humble town north of Stockholm. Very impressed by what I saw, as well as the energy and determination shown by the team. Introducing new materials to an established market is extremely hard. I've seen that first hand many times. Good technology, good intentions, good environmental impact is conceived, taken through PoC, seeded, ... and then die. Why? Often because they're up against a system that's in no capacity to adapt to the new material. I think Lignin sees that, and has developed an approach to tackle this reality. Will be very interesting to follow their journey. And by the way - given that we need new materials in order to replace all those old, unviable materials we need to divest from to decarbonize in time - finding the right strategy to latch on to the incumbent market is not an option, it's an imperative.

How can lignin-based plastics help the automotive industry reduce its reliance on fossil plastics? What if car parts could grow in forests? In an article for BioPlastics Magazine our founder Christopher Carrick writes about the recent study Lignin Industries conducted with Scania Group Autoform AB and KTH Royal Institute of Technology to create vacuum-formable materials where fossil-based plastics were replaced by biobased alternatives. The results concluded that the reduced carbon footprint of lignin-based materials position them as a viable solution in aiding the automotive industry achieve vital sustainability goals. It’s time to consider bio-based alternatives as the new normal, especially scalable solutions that already are on the market – like lignin. 🍀 Full article here https://lnkd.in/d7aCEixy Listen to Christopher’s presentation at the PIAE - Plastics in Automotive Engineering Congress in Mannheim March 26-27.

Yes, the bioplastics industry must be recognized as an enabler to achieve the European Green Deal transformation. Especially scalable, recyclable second generation material can play a vital role - such as lignin.
European Bioplastics, in collaboration with its members and the Bioplastics Organisations Network Europe (BON Europe), has sent a letter welcoming President Ursula von der Leyen and the newly appointed College of Commissioners for the 2024-2029 legislative term. In this letter, EUBP reaffirms its strong support for the President’s commitment to advancing a green and digital transition, ensuring Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness—particularly through the Clean Industrial Deal and the Circular Economy Act. We emphasize the crucial role of #biobased, #biodegradable, and #compostable plastics in achieving the #EU sustainable competitiveness goals for this new policy cycle. Our letter outlines key action points to drive progress: ✅ Setting a legal and regulatory framework to boost investments and drive innovation in the EU ✅ Incentivising access to sustainable biomass ✅ Providing a level playing field by creating financial support to technological innovation ✅ Closing infrastructure gaps and incentivising access to food waste collection ✅ Increasing market uptake We look forward to working with EU policymakers to turn these ambitions into reality. ➡️ Read more below or at https://lnkd.in/euqw-3fN Asahi Kasei, BIOTEC biologische Naturverpackungen GmbH & Co, Celanese, Futamura (Cellulose Films), FUTERRO, IFF,KANEKA CORPORATION, LACTIPS, Lignin Industries AB, Mitsubishi Chemical Europe, NatureWorks, Neste, Plastrans Technologies GmbH, SPhere S.A., Sulapac Ltd, Sukano, TotalEnergies Corbion, BBIA, Nordisk Bioplastförening/Nordic Bioplastics Association #Sustainability #Bioplastics #CircularEconomy #CleanIndustrialDeal #CircularEconomyAct

“I was rather frustrated by the fact that so little was happening with the green transition and thought that transforming a forest residue into a bio-based plastic at least was something…” Read about how lignin can be a bridge between the forestry and plastics industries, find out about the history of Lignin Industries and a lot more in this long article (in Swedish) in ATL Skog. It’s based on an interview earlier this year by Ulf Aronsson with our CEO Fredrik Malmfors and founder Christopher Carrick. #makeithappen #reducefossildependency #biobasedplastics #lignin https://lnkd.in/deFREw-e

What about lignin-based plastics and the Ku-Fizz technique? ☺ How does this combination decrease fossil dependency? And how come it reduces weight and cycle time in injection moulding? How does it all work? These were some of the topics discussed and showed at our workshop at Polymerinstitutet earlier this week. Thank you all for joining and we do look forward to next steps! Scania Group Lars Jerpdal Thule Group Thor Gardarsson Husqvarna Group Oscar Engbom Joakim Wiedesheim Interested in finding out more – please contact us at Lignin Industries!

How can we together enable and accelerate a shift towards the use of biobased and recycled raw materials in the plastics industry? What is needed from us all to succeed? What do we have to do to make it happen, not just as theory but in real life? These were the topics discussed at today’s roundtable in the Swedish Parliament with participants from the industry, authorities, policy makers and brand owners. Very good discussions and we do look forward to next steps to reduce the plastics industry’s fossil dependency, there are indeed so much we can do! Thank you Staffan H. and all of you who participated Katarina Luhr Kjell-Arne Ottosson Henrik Oxfall Åsa Stenmarck Glenn Svedberg Joakim Wiedesheim Jesper Bondesson Magnus Sundin Lars Jerpdal Viktor Odenbrink Christopher Carrick Fredrik Malmfors Kerstin Lagerlöf #lignin #biobased #reducefossildependency
