CH-Bioforce Develops Novel Way of Replacing Fossil- and Food-Based Raw Materials
ESPOO, Finland — CH-Bioforce, a Finnish start-up founded by wood chemists, has developed a novel approach to fractionating biomass and converting all of its components into high-value material streams.
The technology is able to fractionate biomass into its three main constituents, with a high degree of purity and in an economically profitable way. CH-Bioforce’s bio-materials (dissolving pulp, polymeric hemicellulose and sulphur-free lignin) can replace oil- and food-based raw materials in multiple areas such as textiles, packaging and cosmetics.
