Materials utilizing wood-based chemicals find applications both in industry and households, providing a sustainable and competitive alternative to fossil-based raw materials across numerous use cases. Consider for example glue, tall oil, turpentine, lubricants and pitch.

New technologies developed by the forest industry allow the breakdown of wood fibers into sugars and lignin. These substances can be employed in the production of items such as bottles, packaging, textiles, detergents, and cosmetics. Sugars and lignin are also essential in industrial applications, including adhesives and resins, batteries, concrete plasticization, and energy storage.
