Using the LigniOx technology, developed by VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland), lignin by-products from pulp mills and other biorefineries are converted into concrete plasticizers. These can compete with the synthetic and lignosulphonate-based admixtures on the market. The technology will be scaled-up, and the lignin-based concrete admixtures will be developed with industrial partners in the LigniOx project. This is a Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking project operating under the Horizon 2020. VITO participates in LigniOx as a research partner.
