We continuously develop new ways to use pulp fibre and production side streams, with the aim of increasing the value of wood raw material and improving resource efficiency.
New wood-based products can replace materials based on fossil raw materials, for example in the packaging, textile and chemical industries. Development is based on identifying the natural properties of wood and applying them to new uses together with customers and partners.
Metsä LigO™ is a lignin product family made from the side streams of pulp production. Lignin is a natural polymer that can be used in industry as an alternative to fossil raw materials. Its potential applications include concrete plasticisers and other dispersants.

Biogenic carbon dioxide captured from the flue gases of bioproduct mills can serve as a raw material for new products. It can be used, for example, in fuels and in the production of chemicals.
