Brightplus Oy and Finnfoam Oy have agreed to deepen existing cooperation with new national projects focusing on carbon capture, biobased materials, and materials recycling. Projects aim to develop sustainable, biobased material applications for the needs of circular economy.
Both companies strongly believe that sustainable materials are a growing market. For example, protective packaging and thermal insulation offer huge potential for replacing existing materials with biobased alternatives to reach the circularity goals.
At the heart of the cooperation is utilising side-streams in material applications, which is essential in preserving the planet’s limited resources and in contributing to the principles of the circular economy. Both companies, Brightplus and Finnfoam, share a special expertise in this area. Finnfoam is the forerunner of side-streams valorisation, and Brightplus is always looking for new ways to create value from undervalued industrial resources.
“Finnfoam is a great strategic partner for us. They consistently introduce pioneering and imaginative business ideas, that require technological innovation to fulfil. We feel privileged to work with such an entrepreneurial spirit that sets a huge and genuine emphasis on a sustainable future. Their vast experience in foamed structures and general plastic materials processing, complements our work at Brightplus”, says Jarkko Leivo, Managing Partner at Brightplus.
“Brightplus is an important technology partner in creating value from side-streams and transforming them into high performance sustainable materials. We have been working together closely for a number of years, and we are pleased to expand our collaboration today with these exciting new national projects”, comments Henri Nieminen, CEO at Finnfoam.
