FibenolThe material and packaging industries remain heavily dependent on fossil-based raw materials, especially in barrier applications where plastic layers provide functionality. These multilayer solutions make recycling more difficult and face increasing regulatory pressure. Fibenol was established to build scalable, bio-based alternatives that help move industries beyond fossil-based materials, like in packaging.
Fibenol is built by owners with more than 20 years of experience in the wood and forest industry. We focus on valorising low-quality hardwood and plywood industry residues into high-value biomaterials. In this way, we create more value from existing forest resources without competing with higher-value wood uses.
Our technology platform converts lignocellulosic biomass into functional building blocks. These can replace fossil-based materials across packaging, materials, chemicals, construction, and infrastructure.
With the completion of the Fibenol 1.0 platform, we have established robust processes for wood sugars and lignin Lignova®. We are now scaling Woodcell™ crystalline cellulose. All our products are developed to ensure performance, consistent quality, and scalable industrial supply.
Woodcell™ crystalline cellulose is developed to enable fibre-on-fibre packaging solutions. Woodcell™ allows paperboard to be coated with a cellulose-based barrier layer instead of fossil-based polymers. This supports monomaterial packaging design and compatibility with existing paper recycling streams.
Fibenol operates a demonstration plant in Estonia as a structured step toward full-scale industrial biorefining. The facility supports product development, customer validation, and process optimisation, while preparing for large-scale biorefinery operations.
