Building Towards a New Sustainable Lifestyle with Plytech Green

Thanks to the exciting innovation in green glueing solutions manufactured by Stora Enso, a leader in renewable solutions, Plytech Green now offers some of Plytech's most trusted products with bio-based lignin replacing traditional fossil-phenol. Lignin is found in the wall cells of dry-land plants and is the substance that gives trees their strong and rigid structure, allowing them to grow upright.
We are all on a journey to create a safer, healthier, and more sustainable lifestyle. Selecting the right products and materials are a part of this journey. Plytech Green products meet these demands without compromising on strength, durability, and consistency.

Main features and benefits:

Renewable: Replacing fossil phenol with bio-based lignin — reduction of carbon footprint.
High performance: Superior mechanical properties — elasticity, bonding, bending.
Consistent quality: Consistent utmost product performance.
Eco-friendly and safe: High environmental performance both in manufacture and end use.
Traceability: Sustainably managed raw material resource.
Bioeconomy: Adding value to forest industry side streams.
Innovation and development: Building the future towards a new sustainable plywood industry.
Natural: Use of a wood-based non-toxic raw material.
