Lignin makes up 30% of all biomass, e.g. in trees, but today the bulk of all lignin is burned resulting in large CO2 emissions. The background is the poor quality of the lignin after undergoing various processes in the paper and pulp industry. Bright Materia's patent-pending production process produces lignin of high quality and a well-defined structure. In addition, Bright Materia lignin has important properties such as it does not smell and has a bright color. The market opportunities are great as lignin has the potential to replace fossil-based materials in a variety of applications, from cosmetics to plastics and biochemicals.
