Purpose-Driven Technology

Our main purpose is to provide state-of-the art and sustainable products for the chemical industry, and to provide wide range of benefits to the whole value chain. We are strongly driven by this purpose and are ultimately proud of our innovations and the cutting-edge technology behind it.

Ecohelix technology creates new value addition for the host mills by giving an opportunity to utilize currently non or low scale exploited side streams. The formulators gain access to a product with an excellent environmental profile in relevant capacities. Brand owners can provide more sustainable products for their end users and serve their ever-increasing demands on product safety and environmental aspects.

In another words, our technology offers genuinely new benefits. So far, most polymers used in packaging, construction, or in textile industry are based almost completely on oil or food-based components. This creates and increases greenhouse gas emissions and consequently amplify global warming. Thus, Ecohelix creates value to its mill and formulator partners which in turn impacts the manufacturing in several areas of industry. The society gains improved and safer products to use that lowers the environmental burden.

Let´s go to Domsjö

Domsjö Fabriker is a forward looking biorefinery, making more from the tree. Together with the owner, Aditya Birla and the customers, Domsjö Fabriker can help to drive development towards a sustainable bioeconomy that utilizes wood as raw material. Main products of the company are cellulose, lignin and bioethanol, all with an origin in sustainable Swedish forestry. The relationship between Domsjö Fabriker and Ecohelix was born during the early days of Ecohelix, when enthusiastic scientists and industrialsts met in the community of Royal Institute of Technology and Greenhous Labs, exchanged ideas, worked to proof their ideas right and started to think about the expansion from lab scale innovation to industry scale production. Now, the cooperation has raised to the next level.

The Ecohelix Origin

Ecohelix’s main innovation is related to hemicellulose, which is on average about 25–30% in trees. It seems downright incredible that it has not been able to take advantage of this before. Now, things have changed and Ecohelix provides a solution. It has been the result of persistent research but was also inspired by the amazing biorefineries of nature.
