Important results from the project
The project has delivered the planned results and the main goals of fully developed products that are now being implemented have been achieved. The project has resulted in several new products, strong IP including a patent application, and greatly increased experience of working with lignin for all four companies in the project group.
The project has provided more value outside the project group than expected. The results have been requested by more actors which has led to more collaborations.
Expected long term effects
The long-term effects are mainly that the companies in the project group can now launch products from innovative biomaterials and grow them on the market. We see a strong global demand for plastic made from the Swedish forest!
A spin-off from the project is that we have launched e-commerce bags within polyethylene that are now sold to several well-known Swedish brands, such as Blåkläder, Scorett, Isbjörn.
Approach and implementation
The project has achieved its goals, but with a slightly different process than planned. The tests have been both successful and unsuccessful, with the result that we have had to redesign the process, but still stay within the schedule.
When it comes to the collaboration, we should have communicated more closely, with even clearer requirements on deliveries from the start. But it´s always easy to be a wise in hindsight.
