Ligno Plastic is an innovative material developed by TECNARO as part of the LignoLight research project, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action in Germany. Composed of lignin, a byproduct derived from the cellulose and paper industries, as well as biorefinery processes, this material is 100% home compostable. While still in the research phase, it is available in different compositions, with bio-based content ranging from 30% to 50%, with the remainder being fossil-based.

The material is versatile, with applications spanning multiple industries. It is suitable for use in the furniture industry and has been specifically designed for shoe soles, showcasing its potential for both aesthetic and functional products. By integrating renewable resources, Ligno Plastic offers a sustainable alternative while maintaining compostability, contributing to more eco-friendly material solutions.
