Interview: Petri Tolonen, CEO of CH-Bioforce, Talks Environmental Benefits of Bioforsense Technology
Demand for sustainable and eco-conscious products continues to grow, prompting manufacturers to rethink their operations. In this interview, Petri Tolonen, CEO of CH-Bioforce, discusses the environmental advantages of their innovative Bioforsense technology.
Bioforsense technology, developed by CH-Bioforce, facilitates nearly chemical-free processing of biomass such as wood and straw. This leads to the production of pure biomaterials – Cellense, Xylense, and Lignense – which can be used as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials and cotton in various applications.
Tolonen emphasizes the technology’s environmental friendliness, carbon neutrality, and reduced use of chemicals and fresh water compared to traditional processes. Furthermore, Bioforsense stands out as the only solution that extracts all major biomass components in a single process.
The global impact of this technology is significant as it provides a solution to the excessive dependence on fossil-based raw materials. Tolonen notes that the massive market for industrial biomass waste is estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars annually by 2025.
Modern industries heavily rely on fossil-based raw materials, leading to billions of tons of greenhouse emissions. CH-Bioforce aims to change this by transforming waste into high-value raw materials, thereby contributing to a cleaner planet.
The consumer demand for sustainable goods and apparel is driving manufacturers to seek renewable, bio-based raw materials. CH-Bioforce has already collaborated with partners to address this need, offering solutions that enhance the utilization of raw materials and create sustainable products.
The journey of CH-Bioforce traces back to 2011 when wood chemistry specialists discovered a method to extract hemicelluloses in their native polymeric form. This breakthrough led to the establishment of CH-Bioforce in 2016, paving the way for its global operations and the development of its production facility.
As CH-Bioforce takes significant strides in its development, its impact on global sustainability becomes increasingly evident, positioning the company as a key player in driving positive environmental change.
This commercial profile is a testament to the innovative strides made by companies like CH-Bioforce and the potential they hold in shaping a more sustainable future.
