Teknikum joins the Bioboost project to drive sustainable rubber solutions
March 13, 2025 -Finland
At Teknikum, we are committed to pioneering sustainable polymer technologies. That’s why we are excited to participate in Bioboost, a joint research project, withour own Business Finland-funded subproject.
As part of Bioboost, Teknikum will share our expertise in rubber materials, collaborate with industry partners, and test new bio-based raw materials developed during the project. Our goal is to explore lignin-based alternatives and evaluate their performance compared to conventional ingredients such as carbon black and traditional antioxidants.
Key focus areas of our research:
-
Studying lignin-based materials from different sources in various rubber compounds.
-
Comparing their properties to conventional and other sustainable raw materials.
-
Identifying the most suitable lignin types for rubber applications.
Commitment to climate goals & SBTi targets
Teknikum’s participation in Bioboost aligns with our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, where we strive to reduce our environmental impact by innovating with more sustainable raw materials. By investigating lignin’s potential in rubber applications, we aim to move closer to a low-carbon, circular economy while maintaining the high-performance standards our customers expect.
Innovation for a Greener Future
We believe that by replacing fossil-based raw materials with sustainable alternatives, we can help shape a more eco-friendly and responsible future for the rubber and polymer industry. 💚 Together, let’s boost bio-based innovation!
