The expectations placed on cleaning formulations are changing.

Today's formulators must deliver effective cleaning performance while meeting growing requirements for sustainability, transparency, and claim substantiation.

LignoBrite® helps address these challenges through documented performance, renewable raw materials, and third-party verified sustainability credentials. This Proof Centre brings the supporting data and documentation together in one place.

Product Performance

Effective cleaning depends on more than removing visible soil. Formulations must also manage suspended particles, help prevent redeposition and support cleaner surfaces through repeated use.

Explore documented LignoBrite® performance across laundry, automatic dishwashing and hard-surface cleaning.

The Sustainability Behind LignoBrite

LignoBrite® is not only shaped by what it is made from, but also by how its raw materials are sourced, how the biomass is utilised and how Borregaard continues to improve its production.

Explore the broader sustainability foundation behind LignoBrite – from responsibly sourced wood and integrated biorefinery production to our long-term transition towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Integrated biorefinery

Making more from every part of the tree

Borregaard’s integrated biorefinery converts wood into a broad portfolio of products, including biochemicals, biomaterials and bioenergy. LignoBrite is made from lignin, a natural component of wood that is separated during cellulose production and upgraded into a functional ingredient. This cascading use of biomass helps create value from more of the tree.
