Why it matters
Industry needs real ways to defossilise. WoodCell™ delivers one.
Cellulose is one of nature’s most abundant resources.
Processed responsibly, it becomes a powerful enabler of circular, bio-based chemistry.
WoodCell™ helps industries move away from petrochemicals without losing performance.
Stronger materials. Cleaner chemistry. No magic, just good chemistry.
How it’s made
WoodCell™ is produced through an efficient process enabled by Sunburst™ pre-treatment solution.
Fast forward from fossils to biobased. Just good chemistry.Fast forward from fossils to biobased. Just good chemistry.

The WoodCell project & its goals
The WoodCell project is building Europe’s first industrial-scale crystalline cellulose production line.
The WoodCell project is the driving force behind this breakthrough.
Led by Fibenol and funded by the European Union, the project aims to establish Europe’s first industrial-scale production line for WoodCell™ crystalline cellulose.
By uniting industrial innovation with strong cross-sector partnerships, the WoodCell project is paving the way for a competitive, scalable, and truly bio-based alternative for material and chemical industries.
