SPLENDOR aims to unlock the full value of lignin by transforming it into cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable solutions for Europe’s future. Our mission brings together environmental responsibility, societal engagement, and economic resilience to demonstrate how circular innovation can work at industrial scale. Through this integrated approach, we help accelerate Europe’s transition toward a safe, competitive, and bio-based economy.
Helping drive Europe’s green transition by turning industrial side streams into valuable bio-based resources. Our catalyst-free process lowers emissions and maximizes efficiency, while staying aligned with Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design principles and the EU Green Deal. Every step of the project is monitored through life cycle and techno-economic assessments to ensure that what we do is both effective and responsible.
Believing sustainability starts with trust between science, industry, and society. SPLENDOR promotes open communication and stakeholder engagement through workshops, and social Life Cycle Assessment activities. The project also aims to create new green-job opportunities and improve the safety standards for workers and local communities.
Embedding our technology directly into pulp mills, we create new revenue streams and strengthen Europe’s industrial leadership. The process adds value to existing infrastructure, accelerates market uptake of bio-based coatings, chemicals, and fuels, and helps build a more resilient, circular economy for the future.
