Bright Materia is a spin-off company from Wallenberg Wood Science Center at KTH Royal Institute of Technology that provides high-quality, user-customized lignin from waste biomass. This enables bio-based materials in various applications in several billion markets. We have a strong USP and have shown the scalability of our process. We are now planning to introduce our product to the market and are heading for further upscaling of our process.

Bright Materia has developed a new process technology to produce user-customized lignin with preserved structure from unutilized biomass as raw material. With our innovative process technology, a high-quality sulfur-free and odorless lignin with high purity and bright color is extracted from waste biomass. Up to 30 % of biomass constitutes lignin that is burnt today. We aim to reduce carbon dioxide emission and the use of fossil resources by producing lignin suitable as a fossil-free equivalent, thereby binding the carbon into new biobased materials. Lignin has naturally amazing features, such as natural antioxidant and UV-absorbing properties. These properties are advantageous in high-value applications, and we see that our lignin is a material that can be used by several industries, such as the beauty industry, among others.
