Wood, the perfect all-rounder

At our biorefineries in Lenzing (Austria), Paskov (Czech Republic) and Indianópolis (Brazil), we use the renewable source material wood as universal replacement for non-renewable raw materials. Therefore, we aim to utilize and commercialize all of the wood’s natural components by turning them into pulp for Lenzing fibers or other useful Lenzing solutions with a reduced carbon footprint for various industries.

Our biorefinery products, for example, are valuable supplies to the food industry: acetic acid acts as the perfect ingredient to pickle vegetables, and xylose is processed into a low-calorie sugar substitute.

After our renewable raw material wood has provided us with valuable products, it still is precious to us: The energy contained in the wood is used to operate our facilities, making them almost fully energy self-sufficient.
