We are a biorefinery with a goal to make more of the tree and create sustainable products from the forest. We know today that we can make a difference. We, together with our owners Aditya Birla and our customers, are a force in the development towards a sustainable bioeconomy, where we use the forest as a sustainable resource.
Domsjö Fabriker offers renewable products and works continuously to reduce our own environmental impact. We have focused on energy efficiency with great success, we review our transportation and strive to become completely independent of fossil fuels. There is a well-developed infrastructure in the industrial area, and Domsjö cooperates with other companies on energy issues, with electricity, fuel, steam and condensate being traded between the companies. Today, 99 percent of cellulose is produced without using any fossil fuels. Domsjö Fabriker is a biorefinery with a completely closed bleaching plant and bleaching is done completely without chlorine chemicals. All our products are based on renewable and environmentally friendly raw materials. Our products can replace fossil-based products in the textile and chemical industries, among others, and thus contribute to a stronger bioeconomy.
At Domsjö Fabriker, we want to make more of the tree – and do it in a way that protects both people and the environment. In our sustainability report, where we report according to the GRI standard, you can read about how we work to reduce our climate impact, strengthen the circular bioeconomy and create long-term value for society.
Read our three latest sustainability reports:
Domsjö’s biological treatment plant is anaerobic and produces about 13 million normal cubic meters of biogas annually, which is equivalent to 90GWh or 9 million liters of diesel. Our plant is one of Sweden’s largest producers of biogas. The biogas is recovered and used as an energy source in the drying of lignin.
Bioresin is derived from the resin and oils of the tree. The bioresin is separated and sold as fuel. The calorific value of bioresin is comparable to heating oil.
Rejects, bark and sawdust are used as biofuel.
Purification of the cellulose separates fiber rejects, which are used as recycled fiber substitutes for paperboard production.
The carbon dioxide produced is cleaned up and used mainly for industrial purposes.
Domsjö Fabriker has been awarded bronze in the prestigious EcoVadis assessment for our sustainability work. This award is a strong proof of our dedication to drive sustainable development in industry and reduce our environmental impact. Proof that we are actively working towards a greener future by focusing on environmentally friendly production methods. With a focus on responsible raw materials and innovation, Domsjö Fabriker continues to lead the way in an industry that is constantly evolving towards a greener economy.
