Economic growth needs fresh ideas- the means of circular economy for use
We face a double-sided problem: resources deplete,
but waste accumulates
How to integrate the entire product life cycle from raw
material to use and re-use (product designers are not
waste managers - yet)
How to link industries and make them resilient
How to keep sustainability on the agenda and
unravel decelerating regulation
16/02/2017 9
VTT’s solution is our cross-sectoral competence
through multidimensional CE
connecting materials know-how with
technological and digital competence covering
whole value networks from benchtop to pilot
understanding technology and business
integration
Economic growth needs fresh
ideas - the means of circular economy

16/02/2017 10
Every Finnish company is or will be
affected by the circular economy. We make
this transition through concrete and tailored
actions together with customers
Challenging end-of-life wastes to
circulation and profit-making
Business integration gives access to
new/unique business opportunities
Pilots are learning tools and
drivers of new mindsets

Plastic precursors from CO2
using microbes and electricity
CO2 from flue gas is abundantly available as
a carbon source for production of chemicals.
However, CO2 re-use is considered to be
too expensive currently.
Chemical products made from CO2 should
have a relatively high price but still have
applications requiring large quantities.

Wood-based ingredients for future food
products
Consumers request food products that include only
natural and sustainable components, and are
appealing.
Food industry has a need for ingredients, that
improve food structure, stability and preservation.
Forest industry is actively finding novel and high
value applications for their products.
16/02/2017 51
Wood-based ingredients for future food
products
Wood-based hemicelluloses, fibrillated cellulose
and lignin are nature’s own ingredients.
These ingredients can tailor the viscosity,
emulsion properties, foaming, texture and also
replace allergens in food products.
The preliminary in-vitro studies have indicated
that these ingredients may also have beneficial
impact on human health.

Fast pyrolysis as an affordable biomass
fractionation technology
Fast pyrolysis may be
employed to remove
biomass ash, and
produce a liquid product
Liquid product may be
fractionated to light
organics, and both
cellulose, and lignin
derived fractions
These fractions may be
treated separately

Fast pyrolysis is a low cost
alternative for separation of
lignin and other biomass
components
VTT technology is scalable to
commercial scale
We are able to supply larger
amounts of samples from your
materials (processing of about 2
tonnes a week)
VTT is able to supply larger amounts of
fractionated products
