We Strive To Be Leaders In Biomass
Valorization
Established in 2017, LignOrganic is a South African-based biomanufacturing company. The company was conceived of partially in response to issues with alien invasive plants reported by Jozi City Parks and Zoo, without any proposed solutions. Coupled with this, was a drive to engage in the emerging bioeconomy in South Africa, and the need for the global economy to shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. The establishment of policies focusing on environmental sustainability, climate change and a reduction of dependence on fossil resources are indicators of the importance of creating eco-conscious sustainable biochemical entities.
Reimagining Sustainability
Our driving force is to be a company that encapsulates ‘circularity’ in our research, development and production processes. Consequently, we promote green chemistry within the development of our products which are derived from waste biomass. Our aim is to fully exploit the possible uses of waste biomass as a viable replacement for fossil fuels-derived products, while retaining the integrity of the environment.
Vision
Spearhead the global transition from fossil fuels to more renewable plant-based solutions.
Mission
Encapsulate green chemistry within the development of innovative products that have zero negative environmental impact throughout their cradle to grave cycle
Values:
Integrity, Innovation, Passion and Preservation.
Value Statement
Our business model is premised on the preservation of the planet and its people through the innovation and provision of plant-based eco-friendly alternatives for a range of industries. Our ‘customer-centric’ approach to our product development, ensures that we play a pivotal role in the preservation of the planet, while tailoring products to our clients’ needs.
Key Product Line
Our innovative lignocellulose processing methodology allows us to recover multiple value-add products which are refining for use in a range of industries. Through our extensive R&D efforts we are in our final stages of the development of ‘soda lignin’ and a liquid soap. Currently, we are focused on further refining our biodegradable plastics and hemicellulose products.
