Sustainability and values
Sustainability is built into everything we innovate and do. To prove it in practice, we want to show real, concrete results. The results are the WOODMER® products.
We believe in certain values that steer the passion. Observing the world to start with. Especially nature is important in creating “A-ha!” moments that create solutions shaping our world. It starts with technology, but we are business minded and value on reliability and delivering what is agreed.
This is the Ecohelix value creation
The Problem
Materials used in packaging, construction, textile, and cosmetics industry, are produced from fossil based raw materials that creates greenhouse gas emissions.
Meaningful Trends
Strong growth trend in replacing aluminum, oil-based chemicals and polymers sourced from food production driven by consumer trends and EU regulations. Tightened emission regulations and higher production demands has created bottlenecks in pulp production that the mills need to solve.
Innovation
Using biotechnology and membrane filtration to create high performing Woodmer biopolymer from pulping side-streams.
User Benefits
Ecohelix Woodmer products can replace currently used oil and food-based polymers in many applications to increase the green profile of the products and to decrease emissions.
Core Competencies
Ecohelix has done research on the technology with strong R&D team for the past 10 years resulting in a unique, patented technology, that is now ready production.
Production Goals
Ecohelix has a target to move from demo to industrial scale (15 000 tn/a) production by 2024 and continue expanding to new mills after that.
