Borregaard has received the Household & Commercial Products Association's (HCPA) Carbon Footprint Innovation Award for LignoBrite, an innovative and bio-based product that replaces synthetic polymers in cleaning agents. The award highlights Borregaard's leading role in low-carbon innovation and sustainable solutions.

"The award from HCPA is a clear recognition of Borregaard's role as a driving force for low-carbon innovation and more sustainable solutions in the value chain for cleaning products," says researcher Ross Ellis at Borregaard.

Documented Sustainability
