Vegetable tanning began with local tree barks. At Boreal Bioproducts we have revisited that heritage and developed SpruceTannin™, an extract from upcycled Norway spruce bark, a forestry sidestream that performs in modern tannery workflows while improving traceability and circularity.

At Boreal Bioproducts, our daily laboratory operations wouldn’t run smoothly without the help of our talented trainees. From polymer synthesis and barrier coatings to analytical measurements and lignin research, their work supports the backbone of our R&D activities and drives our mission to develop sustainable, bio-based alternatives for fossil-based materials.

Master Tanner Hanna Nore joins Boreal Bioproducts. Her reputation has made her a respected voice in the leather industry. She brings not only technical excellence but also a strong ethical approach to materials and methods. 

We’re raising a round to scale from pilot to pre-commercial production. Our customers, from adhesives to coatings, need more material than our pilot plant can provide. This round bridges that gap and takes us to investment readiness for a commercial production just around the corner.

Boreal Bioproducts launches first-of-its kind lignin-based consumer product. LigNoFog® is engineered to prevent fogging on swim goggles and diving masks 100% bio-based, LigNoFog® marks first known use of lignin in category.

The Key Flag Symbol is a registered collective mark demonstrating that the product has been manufactured or the service has been produced in Finland, creating Finnish jobs.
