We are interested in joining a consortium under Topic 3 – Timber and Innovative Wood-Based Products to develop sustainable wood-based materials and resource-efficient production processes, particularly for cellulosic textiles, packacking, and paper.

Our research group at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden can contribute expertise across the processing chain, from wood debarking through pulping and bleaching to final textiles, packaging, and paper products. This enables us to investigate how raw material selection/properties and processing conditions influence the properties and performance of the final product.

We welcome collaboration with research organisations, pulp and paper producers, textile companies, technology providers and other industrial partners. Potential interests include innovative pulping and bleaching processes, improved utilisation of wood resources, modeling (including chemical recycling), reduced chemical and energy consumption, and cellulose-based alternatives to fossil-based materials.

RISE Research Institutes of Sweden is Sweden’s independent, state-owned research institute and innovation partner, working with industry, academia and the public sector to support sustainable development and industrial competitiveness.

Our research group focuses on converting wood into pulp, paper and cellulosic textile, packaging and paper products. Our capabilities span wood debarking, chipping, pulping, bleaching and downstream processing into final products. By connecting these stages, we can study and optimise the relationship between wood raw materials, processing conditions and end-product performance.

We offer an applied research perspective and expertise across the wood-to-product chain, supporting collaborative development of sustainable processes and innovative forest-based materials.
