We Strive To Be Leaders In Biomass Valorization

LignOrganic is a South African-based company and the first on the continent to produce sulphur-free lignin. We are focused on the innovation of renewable solutions using environmentally-conscious processes to create value for the global bio-economy. We utilise waste plant biomass to produce soda lignin, hemicelluloses, bioplastics, and organic liquid soaps through a biorefinery concept to help promote wider use of sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Our ultimate goal is to achieve total biomass valorisation (the process of adding value to different types of plants and residues) using a lignin-first approach and to become the number 1 supplier in Africa of lignocellulosic-based platform chemicals.
The global economic shift towards more sustainable resources has validated and informed our approach, therefore our focus is centred around the development of environmentally friendly solutions for a wide variety of markets such as:
- Cosmetics and skin care;
- Packaging;
- Rubber manufacturing;
- Agriculture and Animal nutrition;
- Biomaterials.
WHY LIGNORGANIC

MISSION AND VISION
LignOrganic was established with a view to providing bio-based alternative products and solutions that serve to enhance the environment, rather than deplete or damage it. Our vision is centred on driving the global transition from fossil fuels to more renewable plant-based solutions through the development of green and sustainable solutions capable of replacing current dependence on fossil fuels.
OUR ROLE IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Our end goal is to create a sustainable value/supply chain from sourcing and production through to distribution of our products. Our raw materials are sourced locally from suppliers with a keen focus on ethical practices, sustainability and reduced environmental impact in their farming process.
