We develop novel and sustainable products and solutions for the future biobased society

RISE PFI is an internationally acknowledged ­research ­institute within processes and products based on lignocellulosic biomass. We develop novel and sustainable products and solutions for the future biobased society, including materials, chemicals, energy products and feed ingredients.

In the Spotlight

RISE PFI is investing in an advanced pilot coater

RISE PFI is investing in an advanced, custom-made pilot coater designed for printing, coating, and laminating various flexible materials, including paper, films, and metallic foils.

RISE PFI leads a new project on value creation from agrifood side streams

The new project is entitled “Value creation from agrifood side streams within the circular bioeconomy” (AgriFood). The ambition of the AgriFood project is to valorize agrifood side streams to high value-added and sustainable products. Sustainable protein and biogenic poly-/oligomers production requires efficient use of available resources, such as agrifood side-streams (spent grain, agricultural harvest residues and side streams from potato industry).

RISE PFI offers recyclability analysis

RISE PFI is the first lab in Norway to offer the analysis for evaluation of the recyclability of paper and board products. The analysis follows the procedure for the harmonized recyclability analysis presented by CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries), which is based on the industrial processes where recycled products are recovered at a paper or board manufacturer. The purpose of the analysis is to assess the most important parameters for recyclability.
